Maintainership transfer

[Amanieu]

This crate is no longer maintained, but @jclulow and @pfmooney have offered to take over maintenance as part of the @deprecrated organization.

Pinging @rust-lang/libs for approval:

• @Amanieu
• @SimonSapin
• @dtolnay
• @sfackler
• @withoutboats
• @LukasKalbertodt
• @BurntSushi

[BurntSushi]

I don't have access to tick my checkbox, but SGTM!

[bluejekyll]

I just want to make sure people know that folks moved over to using the maintained and better design (IMO) of https://github.com/alexcrichton/socket2-rs

[Amanieu]

Yes but apparently this crate is still widely used in the ecosystem, which means that there is value is continuing to maintain it, e.g. to add support for new platforms (#101).

[jclulow]

We are happy to put whatever signage up about deprecation and what you should do instead that folks think is wise!

[bluejekyll]

To me for such a low level library, I would hope that we could convince folks to migrate, or maybe there’s a way to create an API shim that calls through to socket2.

Otherwise we’ll end up with both in a lot of networking code.

[SimonSapin]

SGTM, thanks to the new maintainers for volunteering!

I'll wait a couple of days to see if @withoutboats or @LukasKalbertodt have any opinion on this, then I'll transfer the repo.

[pfmooney]

Is it acceptable to move forward on this with the two abstentions?

[pietroalbini]

@pfmooney @jclulow could you add me to the @deprecrated organization with permissions to create repositories? I'll then transfer the repository and leave that org :)

[pietroalbini]

Transferred the repository!

[pfmooney]

Transferred the repository!

Thanks! I've created the crates team under the deprecrated organization. I assume push rights on crates.io can be assigned to a team like that?

[pfmooney]

If someone can add @jclulow or I to the crate on crates.io, we can do the rest. Thanks

[sfackler]

I believe @alexcrichton is the only person who has the ability to do that - people who are only owners via team membership can't add owners.

[alexcrichton]

Ok I've invited @pfmooney to the crate on crates.io

[pfmooney]

Ok I've invited @pfmooney to the crate on crates.io

Accepted. Thanks!
