Hi there 👋

I've been tinkering around with reading GeoTIFFs in Rust using the thetiff crate athttps://github.com/image-rs/image-tiff, and see that this is possibly the recommended way going forward as mentioned at#5 (comment),#1 (comment), as well as new crates like@pka'sgeoraster, and my experimentalcog3pio repo (not published yet).

Personally, I'd like to help take over the maintenance of this repo if possible, to upstream all the pure Rust parts of GeoTIFF decoding, so that I can focus on just the PyO3 bindings (and someone mentioned athttps://discord.com/channels/598002550221963289/963346313708195880/1213207827309396050 that they'd like to make R bindings). It seems worthwhile to have a GDAL-less GeoTIFF reader, and I'd be keen to get the ball rolling if possible.

If this sounds ok, I'll start to open up a few issues on what needs to be refactored/modernized, update the documentation, and slowly chip away at some maintenance tasks.
