Hi Erin, I am also thinking about it.
With Roger's retirement, rgdal, rgeos and maptools will effectively go
away, by the end of 2023. We are working on contingency plans and
instructions for package maintainers, and will share on this list as
soon as there is something to share.
For automap, I have no clue; it hasn't been updated for a long time but
doesn't depend on one of these three.

Hello there!
Are both maptools and automap going away, please?
Also, is anyone putting together a sort of substitution list for old
packages going to new packages, please? Just wondering. I was thinking
about it if no one else is.
Thanks,
Erin
