HELP: looking for new maintainers
See original GitHub issueTLDR: I can no longer maintain this project to the degree it needs to be maintained and I’m looking for a new maintainer(s). If you’d like to step up or propose a way forward (someone mentioned the aio-libs org) please leave a comment. ❤️
I started this project almost 10 years ago, in my quest to improve my C skills and learn more about Python internals. In this process I also learned about how c-ares works and many more things. It started with the Python C API, and then, thanks to multiple contributions we transitioned to cffi. Then came wheels.
Python is and has always been my favorite programing language, but I no longer use it on a daily basis and my day got more complicated so I no longer have the time to pour some love into this project. I never had a use case for this package, I just did it for the sake of learning. Python being my favorite language, I loved to come back to fix the occasional bug, but that is no longer working.
I’ve come to realize there is a grieving process here. It starts with denial: “I’ll find some time next month for sure!” and ends with acceptance, ie, this piece of text right here.
This project has helped me become a better developer and to collaborate with many great people throughout the years. It was really humbling to find out that aiohttp started depending on it, and that’s probably how it reacched 750k downloads per month.
It’s not time to pass the torch and put this project in new, loving hands. Are you that person? Please leave a comment.

Update: thanks to the work by @HassanAbouelela and some other PRs we are in a better shape now. I managed to find some time to work on automating everything, and now releases to PyPI are fully automated when making a GH release, including building wheels for all platforms (aarch64 is on PR).
3.2.0 is now out for Python 3.5-3.9 and wheels for all platforms.
EDIT: 3.2.3 is out with aarch64 wheels included.
Update 2: got excited with all the automation and made a 4.0 release. c-ares is now pulled in as a submodule. No custom patches. Linking with the system c-ares is now possible too.
With these improvements and the release automation it should be much easier for anyone to come and help maintain this forward!
