Python bindings for adoption

Python bindings for adoption

Hi all, a happy new year!

After a few weeks of notmuch abstinence I am being overwhelmed with 750
new notmuch mails, and I really don't have the time or will (nor does my
family approve) to spend enormous amounts of time on notmuch. I am
already neglecting offlineimap, which also needs some attention.

As I have repeatedly stated that I want to hand over the maintainership
of the notmuch python bindings, and I would like to do it asap. I feel
that people like Patrick Totzke, or Justus Winter who generally have
been working on this far more intensely than I recently did are both
very well positioned to take on that role :-). Most importantly, they
actually work with the bindings while I don't use them myself anymore.

I will only merge bug fixes as of now, and not invest time to refactor
the code or add lots of bells and whistles. Let me know if anyone would
volunteer to take them on.

Looking forward to see more cool notmuch, alot, afew, and muchother
development progress.

Sebastian

Hey, Sebastian.  Thank you so much for your hard work developing and
maintaining the python bindings.  You've done really great work, and it
is very much appreciated.

Sebastian,

I'm sorry to hear of your decision to finally hand over the maintainership of the bindings
but of course I fully understand that you want to focus on other stuff.
Thanks for your great work! Your bindings were certainly one of the most important reasons for me to
switch to notmuch.

This said, I'd have to decline the offer to take over the bindings myself. Although it's tempting,
I don't feel confident enough to actually develop or competently review libnotmuch-level code
and having a lot on my plate with advancing alot I draw my line just here.
Of course this will not stop me from whining about bugs or occasionally sending in patches :).

I wish you good luck with all future projects and all the best for this new year.
Patrick

I've decided to step up as a new maintainer for the libnotmuch python
bindings. I assume that I'll have to mail an ssh public key to someone
for repository access, right?

Cheers,
Justus

That's right. Carl (in copy) handles repository access.
