Hi @vairag22
Thanks. Reasonably recently we only dropped support for Python 2.6 and while I agree that there are some features that are available in newer versions of Python that would simplify some things I'm also pretty sure that some people are sadly stuck with Python versions that do not have any official support. I'd like to keep supporting Python 2.7 so long as it doesn't cost too much effort.
I personally dislike the formatting that black does to the code and I don't think it allows any configuration. It also adds about 10% to the total lines of code reducing readability is some cases and it conflicts with a lot of the checking that is done by flake8 already.
I'l look into improving the README (both in general and specifically for Github). Specifically the list of formats is much too long now but I'll experiment a bit with some restructuring.

Understandable. Yeah it does not allow any configuration but that's the whole point of black. Nevertheless some standard automated formatting is still needed; it is very tiresome to hand format everything after flake8 throws a bunch of error for double quotes, stray whitespaces etc. This is a problem for first-time and infrequent contributors.
I have experience with github actions if you need support to automate some task.
Feel free to use GitHub project boards to share some ideas about tasks and assign it to me.
I support the idea of adding static typing; it prevents so many errors
