PEP 541 Request: sphinx-argparse

[ashb]

Project to be claimed

sphinx-argparse: https://pypi.org/project/sphinx-argparse

Your PyPI username
ashb: https://pypi.org/user/ashb

Reasons for the request

Project appears abandoned

Maintenance or replacement?

I would like to continue supporting this and release new versions -- we use it in Apache Airflow

Contact and additional research

I asked on the project's GitHub issues - alex-rudakov/sphinx-argparse#135 where the other current maintaner mentioned that he is the only one "active", but cannot grant me further permissions.

I'm currently a maintainer on pypi for sphinx-argparse and would like to support this transfer. The current owner of the project abandoned it approximately 5 years ago and I was only able to get maintainer access after a fair bit of effort. I no longer have time to continue maintaining the project and would very much like to pass it along, which isn't something I can do as a maintainer. Please give @ashb owner and maintainer permissions so they can continue supporting the package.

I'm a user (and wannabe-contributor) of sphinx-argparse, and I can confirm that the original repo is pretty much dead, there appears to be no response on pull requests for almost two years by now. Would be great to see a new maintainer.

Hi @ashb, PEP 541 requires moderators to attempt contact with the owner before proceeding with the request, as the project cannot be considered invalid I will attempt contact with @ribozz and allow six weeks for a reply. Hopefully we will get one and proceed with the transfer.

Transfer complete.
