As @tim-salabim said yesterday, he wants to move mapview to r-spatial.

To promote this organization and to have spatial related R packages at one place, we could think over moving more spatial related R packages here?

• gstat @edzer

• sf @edzer

• sp @edzer

• raster Robert Hijmans not on Github afaik? (currently only hosted as a CRAN mirror)

• rgdal (currently only hosted as a CRAN mirror) @rsbivand

• rgrass7 (currently only hosted as a CRAN mirror) @rsbivand

• rgeos (currently only hosted as a CRAN mirror) @rsbivand

• RQGIS @jannes-m

• sperrorest @pat-s

• mapview @tim-salabim

• rasterVis@oscarperpinan

• RSAGA @debangs

• ggspatial @paleolimbot

(feel free to suggest more, this was just a brief start of packages which came to my mind)

Here are some points explaining the advantages of an organization. Famous R related organisations that I know of are rstudio and ropensci.
