Hi folks!
Just flagging here that I'm gonna be stepping away from maintaining
virtualenv going forward and I'll be removing myself from the corresponding
GitHub team later today.
There's a bunch of reasons for this, but the dominant ones are that (1) I
don't want to be maintaining any Python 2 compatible code in 2021, (2) I
don't think I know enough about the re-written codebase to contribute on
that front, and (3) I don't want to put in the energy necessary to deal
with consistent pushback to _all_ non-code changes related to the project.
None the less, I do want to flag that there's probably a conversation to be
had about virtualenv's bus factor at some point (I think it's 1 at the
moment) and shoutout to my fellow maintainers for collaborating with me so
far! ^>^
Best,
Pradyun
PS: I'm sending this here, because... I couldn't find any other good place
to do so publicly, while still reaching the _only_ relevant people. :)
