[PSA] Transfer of ownership

[tiran]

Public Service Announcement

Ilya Etingof is currently unable to maintain pyasn1 and pyasn1-modules. PyPI package ownership for pyasn1 and pyasn1-module has been transfered to me and Simon Pichugin in PyPI support ticket #2090. The upstream repositories for pyasn1 and pyasn1-modules are now in the GitHub organization https://github.com/pyasn1/.

Please join us at https://github.com/pyasn1 if you like to help. We are looking for more contributors and maintainers to spread the workload.

I'm also looking for users to test pyasn1-0.5.0rc1 and pyasn1_modules-0.3.0rc1. You can install the pre-release from PyPI:

pip install --pre pyasn1 pyasn1-modules

@russhousley did you see this transfer of ownership? perhaps you want to offer the changes you've done at https://github.com/russhousley/pyasn1-alt-modules into the new upstream for future inclusion, so you don't have to maintain a separate set of modules.

I have reached out to the owners of https://github.com/pyasn1/pyasn1-modules/
