PEP 541 Request: pyasn1 and pyasn1-modules

[tiran]

Project to be claimed

pyasn1: https://pypi.org/project/pyasn1
pyasn1-modules: https://pypi.org/project/pyasn1-modules

Your PyPI username

tiran: https://pypi.org/user/tiran
droideck: https://pypi.org/user/droideck

Reasons for the request

Simon Pichugin (@droideck) and I are co-workers of Ilya Etingof (@etingof) at Red Hat. Ilya has not been able to maintain pyasn1 and pyasn1-modules for the past two years. He won't be able to take of the packages in the foreseeable future, too. We like to take care of the packages until Ilya is back.

The packages are dependencies for open source software that we develop or maintain:

• https://github.com/python-ldap/python-ldap
• https://github.com/389ds/389-ds-base/
• https://github.com/freeipa/freeipa/

I have also contacted @russhousley (pyasn1 contributor, owner of https://github.com/russhousley/pyasn1-alt-modules) and @yeraydiazdiaz. Russ is interested to join us as maintainer. Yeray has previously requested project ownership in ticket #1104.

Please add me and Simon (https://pypi.org/user/droideck/) as admins to the projects on PyPI and Test PyPI.

• pyasn1: https://pypi.org/project/pyasn1
• pyasn1-modules: https://pypi.org/project/pyasn1-modules

[yeraydiazdiaz]

Thanks for your help clarifying the situation and taking over these project @tiran. I have transfered both project to you and Simon.

[tiran]

Thank you! Could you please transfer ownership of Test PyPI projects as well? I would like to test new release workflow before I push releases to main PyPI.

[yeraydiazdiaz]

I've transferred pyasn1 in Test PyPI to you, seems Simon does not have an account with the same name in PyPI and there doesn't seem to be a pysan1-modules in Test PyPI.

[tiran]

Thanks! I have created pyasn1-modules on Test PyPI. I have now access to both projects on both PyPI instances.
