the official docker image for elixir is from c0b/docker-elixir. As it is the official docker image, I asked the maintainer about it (#64) and got the positive response.
Who (from elixir-lang github org) will take care of this? Couldn’t mention anyone from the github issue, so ping here.

Moving the repo to the elixir-lang org means the core team must take on the burden ensuring the project is maintained until EOL, as well as fielding all issues and support requests that come with a loaded bag such as deployment solutions, so this is not something I see happening. It’s great that the author made this available for folks that need it!

BTW it turns out that there are three patterns of “official docker images”
_/pythonfrom GitHub - docker-library/python: Docker Official Image packaging for Python · GitHub_/sentryfrom GitHub - getsentry/docker-sentry: Docker Official Image packaging for Sentry · GitHubjenkins/jenkinsfrom GitHub - jenkinsci/docker: Docker official jenkins repo · GitHubI just asked the maintainer about what’s the common or prefeered way: see move github repo under elixir-lang · Issue #64 · c0b/docker-elixir · GitHub
I totally understand the concern, but I don’t think it’s like introducing another standard library (e.g. HTTP library). The “official” Docker image is pretty minimal - it’s basically installing erlang and elixir. Anyway it does not need to be maintained by elixir core team - so let’s wait for feedback from the docker image maintainer.
