Looking for more maintainers!

[sdispater]

Maintenance of this project has resumed, but we are always welcome new maintainers.

Original post below:

Due to a lot of my limited time dedicated mostly to Poetry, Pendulum has not received the amount of care it deserved.

There is currently a WIP to modernize the codebase (see #569) and the 3.0 version is planned for the first half of 2022 but it's not going as fast as I would like.

So, I am looking for people interested in co-maintaining the library. Any type of help (bug fixes, issue triage, improvements) is welcome.

If you are interested in helping, let me know by commenting on this issue so that I can add you as a member of the project.

You know, I'd be interested in maintaining the project. I use pendulum quite a bit, and I like it very much, both its goals and its performance.

However, I don't know if I have the skill to maintain it. There would probably be a substantial amount of time (months?) before I could usefully contribute patches or judge those of others.

With that caveat noted, I'd like to help.

I am interested in helping, but same as Nick, I'm not a 100% sure if I can do it completely independently (I can write/modernize the code independently, but it would be better if someone else approves it)

[sdispater]

@NickFabry and @anvit25, thanks for being willing to help with the project. I appreciate it.

I can add you as co-maintainers of the project and you can go at your own pace from there. Even small changes or bugfixes can go a long way, so any contribution is welcome.

And I'll try to supervise and review PR as much as I can if it can make you feel more comfortable.

[NickFabry]

@sdispater - thank you for starting the project! I'll try my best, and I'll give it a go. I definitely would appreciate the adult supervision & review for a while until I get a little more skilled & familiar.

@sdispater if you could use another hand, I'm happy to help.

I'd love to help, have used pendulum for work for years now and want to see it keep improving.

[miko13]

if you still need more hands, I would love to help out!

[sterlinm]

@sdispater I'm also interested in helping out.

It looks like you're planning some changes to the interface (e.g. removing the dst_rule if I'm reading recent commits correctly). Do you have a write-up of your planned changes somewhere? No big deal if not, just curious!

[hrishikeshrt]

I would also love to help with bugfixes, small changes as best as I can.

Count me interested. ✋

If you still need people, I could also do some things.

Hey @sdispater,
First of all nice work on this library!
Second, I would love to maintain the library, however, I feel like there are nice consortiums that make maintaining a library like this easier. One example is https://jazzband.co/ but I am pretty sure there must be more.
Here everyone in the organization can maintain the repositories that are part of the group.
This way, you have way less things to worry about and we get started on going through the issues :).

Hi, @sdispater, I've been involved in other open source projects as a contributor, and have used Pendulum happily for several years in my day gig. I would need a bit of time to get up to speed, but this is a project I feel I could sink my teeth into, and potentially devote resources to in the long term.

Thanks!
