I don't know the outshine and outorg code in and out. But I wouldn't mind keeping it maintained with the pull requests I get.

That said, adding Thorsten Jolitz to this discussion.
@Thorsten Would you mind making me ( https://github.com/tj64/outshine/pull/46 ) a temporary maintainer of your outshine package on github. Or do you have anyone in mind you would take this up? Thanks.

Sorry about that, I really messed up there. Kaushal's patch should
work better, as long as there is at least one valid heading in the
file (if I try running it on an entirely empty org file, I can still
produce the error message with M-x outline-hide-sublevels).

I'd also like to second Bastien's suggestion, it would be excellent to
see this useful extension maintained again.
