move to github.com/discorporate/blinker

[ThomasWaldmann]

@jek iirc you can click somewhere in the settings to move a repo to a new github org.

guess that is the easiest option to get it there.

i'ld offer to do some basic maintenance if i get the permissions (like for flatland, including a new pypi release with the new URL).

Alternatively, https://jazzband.co?

I am a member of Jazzband, this project will make a good candidate for the jazzband umbrella projects. Let me know how I can help move this forward.

What do you think? @jek

If you don't have the time to maintain this project, the community can help :)

If there's no reply, someone could consider a fork and a PEP 541 transfer of the PyPI name:

[sfdye]

Let's give the owner some time to respond

[jek]

what is the need driving this request?

[sfdye]

There is no need to move this project anywhere, if the project can still be actively maintained (triaging issues/pull requests, cutting new release to PyPI, etc)

What you can help as the owner is maybe considering granting collaborator permission to someone like @ThomasWaldmann @hugovk or myself. We'd love to help move this project forward 😄

[ThomasWaldmann]

i think it is always better to have projects under some github org account than under a personal account (except, obviously, for purely personal projects or for very fresh stuff).

the reason is somehow the message that is communicated, like:

• "this is my thing", vs.
• "this a community thing maintained by this org" (which is open to all interested parties)

if one then thinks about stuff like bus factor and long term maintenance, the org way gets even better.

of course it still needs people actually doing something good for the project, but at least it is more "inviting".

I am very open to passing the torch on this project (lead or collaborator) to anyone working in this space with the cross-implemention know-how (especially understanding of which operations are atomic across Python implementations) and, crucially, can articulate why send_robust does not belong in the core.

[delijati]

send_robust seams legit to me. It does not change existing api it only extends it and there are tests for it. So can this process of moving the repo or releasing at least a new version be triggered again.

Blinker has moved to Pallets-Eco, a place for community maintenance of projects related to the Pallets projects (Flask, etc). If anyone is actively using this project and is interested in helping maintain it, please message us on our Discord server: https://discord.gg/pallets.
