Issue: find a new home for all repos

In the spirit of transparency, I'd like to (publicly) find a new home for my repositories. I want to be able to still make contributions to them, but no longer be considered the "owner" or "arbiter" or "BDFL" of these repositories.

Some notable repos:

• https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests
• https://github.com/kennethreitz/records
• https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests-html
• https://github.com/kennethreitz/setup.py
• https://github.com/kennethreitz/legit
• https://github.com/kennethreitz/responder

tl;dr: all repositories under the 'kennethreitz' org on github ( https://github.com/kennethreitz ) are effectively 'up for grabs'.

Considerations for maintainer selection:

1. I will select you (or your organization) to maintain the project if you have a standing history of contributing to open source software, show enthusiasm / meager eagerness to learn, or have an interest in keeping the given project alive.
2. Some projects have domains associated with them. These are included in the transfer.
3. I am currently looking for a job ( [email protected] !), and my operating funds are very low. Therefore, if you or your organization are open to the idea of monetary exchange for ownership of a repo / pypi project, please email me. I am considering this an unlikely and rare situation. Only serious offers will be considered, and money won't influence maintainer-ship decisions.

As these are now community projects, I want the future of these projects to be influenced by the community — so please say something if you feel strongly about the future of any of these projects.

Many thanks,

Kenneth Reitz
