Active Barrier maintainers have moved here

[p12tic]

The active maintainers of Barrier for the past 2 years, @p12tic and @shymega [1] have moved their efforts to this repository.

The reasons are the following:

• All important parts of the project were controlled by walker0643. No one knows the real identity of that person.
• walker0643 has not been active for at least 2 years and did not give enough administrative access to anyone else, which caused operational issues maintaining the project.
• The name debauchee is not professional and should not be associated to a popular project.

Our attempts to achieve a compromise have failed, walker0643 did not think that a fork is bad and encouraged it himself so we are here.

We intend to maintain compatibility with older versions of Barrier.

Currently we think that InputLeap would be a good new name for the project. We will confirm this when we do the first release from this repository. Picking new names will need changes in the directory structure of the project, so we want to delay this for as long as possible.

[1]: During the past 2 years since v2.3.2 @p12tic and @shymega together authored 305 commits which is more than twice the number of commits by all the rest of contributors (150 commits). This can be checked by running git shortlog -ns v2.3.2..master on the Barrier repository.

I can attest that what @p12tic put in this announcement is true, and I look forward to maintaining this fork.

I will lock the conversation to have a clean place for any fork-related announcements. We can discuss the topic here: #1427
