https://github.com/JuliaFolds2/Transducers.jl/blob/master/Project.toml#L3 Takafumi Arakaki has been AWOL for more than a year. What good did it do you over looking at the latest commits?
The only point for Pkg here seems to be: > When running ]add or ]update, a flag could be used to warn about dependencies without an authors field. which I...
