But the content is specifically that repos by a notable maintainer are seeking new maintainers, not just random GitHub repos.
The most notable repo involved is "requests", an HTTP library more widely used than the one in Python's standard library (I'm under the impression it has become bundled with the Python standard install but am unable to find a citation for that).
How about changing the title too "Python requests library and other repos seeking new home"?
- dang 7y agoOk, I've tacked Requests on above. That goes against my gut feeling about this, but let's try it and see.
- em-bee 7y agofor what it's worth, it made the title feel more deliberately chosen. i'd generally expect titles to be close to the original title of the post. and the first version of the title just doesn't feel like a title that anyone would put onto a post, let alone an issue report in a tracker. with 'requests' added it feels more real and interesting.
- dang 7y agoWell, it was the title of the original article, and therefore the title that the site guidelines say we should use: "Please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait." It was neither misleading or linkbait, which is why I don't feel good about having changed it. But that's fine. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- em-bee 7y agooh, i missed that. in that case i agree, the original should have been good enough. can't fix everything... edit: i was thinking of this title "Issue: find a new home for repos" which is not the original one. somehow that "all" makes a difference, as does adding "request"
