@Stephen AFAIU, you can just open a PR adding yourself, and asking the existing maintainer for review. A package can have more than one maintainer.

I noticed that yesterday after I asked the question haha. I didn't realize someone had already updated the cli, it is just available in unstable instead.

I normally use nixpkgs-unstable for my project.

When you open PRs, you are going to be making it against the master branch anyway. So in this case you'd go directly to the file on the Git repo to see what version is current.
