Ownership transfer #664

Open tomusdrw opened 1 year ago

tomusdrw commented 1 year ago

Hi all!

Long story short, for the last year, I have not been doing a great job maintaining this repository (honestly, it's even longer :)). I'm seeing though that the library is still useful for many, and there is a great community around it, so I'm very happy to transfer the ownership of the repository to a better maintainer(s).

Opening this issue to call for maintainers.

Perhaps https://github.com/rust-ethereum would be interested in taking it under it's wings? CC @vorot93 @kirk-baird @gelfand @emhane @vkgnosis

Also summoning top contributors: @e00E @rphmeier @debris @mjkoo

Thank you for your hard work

Thanks for the work you've done with this. The rust-ethereum organization makes some sense as a new owner. (Although it is kind of unclear what its goals are and who is active in it.) @nlordell and I have been doing minimal maintenance for https://github.com/rust-ethereum/ethabi/ through it. While we don't have time to do active development, we probably could do similar minimal maintenance here like reviewing and merging critical fixes, at least while we are using this project ourselves.

There is also a newer crate with similar goals as rust-web3: https://github.com/gakonst/ethers-rs cc @gakonst . I have not used it yet but have interacted with the developers. The projects have similar goals and with the small amount of open source devs in this space it would be nice if everyone worked on the same library. So maybe the community could migrate to it over time.

Great library, simple and stable. I hope it will find new maintainers.
