The future of `eradicate` repo
Hi, My name is Nikita Sobolev (https://github.com/sobolevn), I am one of the `eradicate` maintainers: https://github.com/wemake-services/eradicate Some time ago I had to transfer this project from its original author: https://github.com/myint/ More details: https://github.com/wemake-services/eradicate/pull/17 But, it does not feel quite right to me. `eradicate` is quite popular and is used by lots of people, right now they might search for it and find that it is stored under `wemake-services` org, which once was a for-profit company. This can clearly create an impression that my former company is the original author. Especially considering how many similar projects are actually created by `wemake-services`. I don't want to create that impression, because it was created and maintained by myint for a long time. I want to pay respect to the original author (because I really love this project). So, I thought that maybe moving this project to PyCQA would be the best alternative? 1. I think that the project fits the PyCQA goal 2. myint (the original author) is already a member of PyCQA 3. It is quite popular (500.000+ downloads a month according to https://pypistats.org/packages/eradicate) 4. I can be a maintainer (since I already am + I have a `flake8` plugin built around it: https://github.com/wemake-services/flake8-eradicate) 5. It won't create any false impressions for users If it is not accepted, I can simply create a brand new org for it. So, don't hesitate to share your feedback! Best, Nikita
Hey Nikita, I sent you an invite to the org and some teams I set up for eradicate. With the caveat of "Unless you are configured as an Owner of the org, you can't easily invite people to the org" this makes sense to me to include in the org. The invite stands for you to join, just let us know about the caveat above if you decide to move it elsewhere. Cheers Sent from my phone with my typo-happy thumbs.
