Recruiting maintainers

[youknowone]

The project is losing maintainers. I am still doing some jobs but not as much as before. I also don't have enough time to finish time consuming jobs like #5299

Yes, any project lose momentum at some point. But it doesn't necessarily means dying. If anyone is interested in the project, but not diving in it because the project looks less being maintained, it is an opportunity for you. Please contact me anyone who is interested in this project. I will try my best to support to do it.

I joined this project to get better at Rust. And had awesome years thanks to many great developers.

Hi, we've been exchanging messages on the Discord server these past few days (my username there is "Bruner"), and well... I'd suspected this was the state of affairs and so, now that I know for sure, I'm willing and excited to help out!

Should I DM you, or... what would be the next step(s) for getting involved? (That, and if I were to get involved I'd like to have a small conversation - if you're willing to spare some time - regarding the project's "logistics"... shall we say - HR type matters 😅 DMs would definitely be a better place for that kind of exchange than here, right?)

@miviwi Thank you so much! It is not an urgent state right now, but I am trying to be ready for future. I will message you

I have a use-case for Rust Python and I'd like to improve the capabilities of CodeObject.

I'd like to work on

• access to individual sub-items (notably, functions),
• linking,
• making Literal type public.

Additionally, I'd like to

• Either improve documentation or provide necessary utilities to allow easy creation of rustpython_vm::builtins::PyBaseExceptionrustpython_vm::builtins::PyBaseException,

UPDATE (10/10/2024):

I got a bit busy at work due to low productivity.

It's still on my TODO-list. This week I'll be busy and maybe next week everything will be better.

Thank you for contacting. Any patch is welcomed. Please open issues or join discord if you need detailed discussion for each improvements.

Hello,

I can see that you need more maintainers. I am Python developer, who have some Rust background also. I will take a deeper look of the project and maybe I will join to help :)

@DamyanBG Thank you so much for your interest!

Hi, yes, right now i am working on upgrading dependencies like cranelift. As i am new, i think that would be a good place to start. I am writing a CLI tool which generates me a report of API changes between dependency versions(current and latest stable). In the coming weeks should see progress in that regard.
