This has no maintainer, isn’t used by anything in tree, has been disabled on Python ≥ 3.9 for years, and has been kept alive by mass bumps and Zero Hydra Failures for years…

Upstream doesn’t seem to be totally dead but I’m wondering if it’s worth continuing to devote more collective effort to this package that I get the impression nobody is using. It doesn’t have many reverse dependencies on PyPI.

Are you interested in adopting this package? If so, we ought to do a bit more clean‐up (e.g. it doesn’t depend on six any more at a glance, and there might be other outdated dependencies). Otherwise, maybe we should just drop this and if anyone else wants to use it they can easily bring it back and take up maintenance.

I can maintain it i think
