Community-maintained sass plugin

[binyamin]

Suggestion

Create a community-maintained sass plugin. Ideally as @gulp-community/sass on NPM, so it's clear that this isn't just some random, one-time fork. I would be happy to write an implementation, which you could then look over before transferring.

Why

The more popular version, dlmanning/gulp-sass, doesn't look maintained. It hasn't been updated in over a year, and it breaks entirely on recent node versions (dlmanning/gulp-sass#797). It also depends on node-sass, so even if you want dart-sass, node-sass is still built and installed.

@binyamin Thanks for the suggestion - if you want to get started and make the fork we would gladly accept it into the gulp-community org

I have been personally using this fork https://github.com/mattdsteele/gulp-dart-sass that is removing node-sass issue, but on the other hand, it removes the ability to pick which sass engine to use, it is also fixing a version of dart-sass and also doesn't seems to be maintained so much

[phated]

The goal of gulp-community was to eventually build a team that was part core-team and part external and fund the work with our open collective. The problem is that none of the maintainers that joined gulp-community stayed around, so these are mostly unmaintained anyway.

The popular plugin, dlmanning/gulp-sass, seems to have resumed development. At least, the bugs mentioned are fixed. Closing.

I wrote an implementation anyway. Includes tests, and uses latest dart-sass. I'd love to oversee it as part of gulp-community. https://github.com/binyamin/gulp-sass
