> Weirdly, when I'm evaluating open source libraries having their own domain name rather than a site on GitHub pages or ReadTheDocs is a very slight mark against them in my book - because of exactly this.

The requests documentation is hosted on ReadTheDocs already. Also you can generate the docs yourself:
https://github.com/psf/requests/blob/main/docs/Makefile#L25 https://github.com/psf/requests/blob/main/docs/Makefile#L25
I find your focus on the domain kind of odd to be honest. I'm not really sure why it's so important.
- rocqua 4y agoOften the domain hosts the email for the package. Control the domain and you can control the package. Control the package and you can ransomware or cryptomime quite a few computers as a criminal. Heck maybe if you are Russian you just wipe any computer with a non-russian IP.
- d0mine 4y agoIt is funny. The opposite of what you said is true: computers with Russian ips were wiped (by OSS author?) but you are likely do not consider Russians to be human so it should ok in your book.
