Claim abandoned name: slack-cleaner (PEP 541)

[sgratzl]

I'd like to apply to take ownership of the project name "slack-cleaner" https://pypi.org/project/slack-cleaner/

Reachability

I tried to reach the original author via email (kfei@kfei.net) twice or by filing a issue on the repos github repository (kfei/slack-cleaner#51). However, no response to either of it.

Abandoned projects

A project is considered abandoned when ALL of the following are met:

• owner not reachable (see Reachability above);
• no releases within the past twelve months; and
• no activity from the owner on the project's home page (or no home page listed).

All other projects are considered active.

Continued maintenance of an abandoned project

If a candidate appears willing to continue maintenance on an abandoned project, ownership of the name is transferred when ALL of the following are met:

• the project has been determined abandoned by the rules described above;
• the candidate is able to demonstrate their own failed attempts to contact the existing owner;

-> see github issue among others

• the candidate is able to demonstrate improvements made on the candidate's own fork of the project;

-> my fork: https://github.com/sgratzl/slack-cleaner contains all open Pull Requests added some new features

• the candidate is able to demonstrate why a fork under a different name is not an acceptable workaround; and

a lot of people (as indicated by the stars of the original and the fork project) use the project and encounter the same errors again when installing from pypi since they are stuck to the old version. Thus, being able to update the package with the forked version would simplify things a lot and avoid that the same error is reported multiple times since already fixed in the improved version.

Hello @sgratzl thanks for the detailed report. I have emailed @kfei myself as a moderator. Hopefully we will hear back soon and move your request forward.

Hi @sgratzl, I have had no response from the current owner of the project so it is now considered abandoned and will ask an admin to transfer the project to you.
