is it time to fork this? can anyone contact Sam Washington? #40
Description
This is still a useful library, despite its age. There are pending PRs. @sam-washington doesn't have any activity in github, they have a keybase entry for github and aethris.net, which is a dead site and doesn't exist in the Wayback Machine. The domain is still registered, though.
Python has a process for doing all of this:
- https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0541/#continue-maintenance
- https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0541/#how-to-request-a-name-transfer
- there are no requests to transfer in pypi-support
- https://pypi.org/help/#project-name-claim
As soon as I post this I'll send the issue link to codegreen@aethris.net, which is the only email address I've found.

Opened a "takeover request", as shown in the mention link.

Been in contact with Sam, we got things going. He and I both own the pypi lib, the github repo was transferred to my account (and he's a collaborator on it).
This is a great time for other interested parties to step up! That way I can increase the bus factor. I'll try to revamp the readme to indicate this.
