Hi everyone,

Happy to announce that `molecule-plugins` is alive again! 🎉 🚀

After a long time of low activity and lack of maintainership, myself and @ziegenberg have started addressing the backlog of issues and PRs. Please read [Project Maintenance Update · Issue #388 · ansible-community/molecule-plugins · GitHub](https://github.com/ansible-community/molecule-plugins/issues/388).

But wait, there’s more! 😁

[Release v26.9.28 · ansible-community/molecule-plugins · GitHub](https://github.com/ansible-community/molecule-plugins/releases/tag/v26.9.28) is also out addressing some critical bugs and some new feature enhancements too!

Massive shout out to all the contributors who have contributed bug fixes and other features for this release, and of course @ziegenberg! 🚀
