Transfer repository ownership to Uber

[lopter]

Hello,

I need so start by saying that this is somewhat a duplicate of #15, though this was actually written last week. I think two different issues make sense but I don't have a strong feeling about that.

Anyway, thanks again to you and @jpoehls for maintaining and writing gonduit!

I am writing on behalf of @uber, we have been using gonduit internally and I'm sure you have seen our pull requests (#11, #12 and #14).

Do you have any plans to address currently opened pull requests?

If not, how do you feel about transfering ownership of the repository to Uber? The repository would retain its MIT license and @Pawka and his team at Uber would handle existing and future pull requests or issues.

Any question, please let me know!

Best

Hi. #15 and this issue propose moving the repo to an organization. Do you know if this will mean that the users of this library will have to update their imports or does GitHub handle the redirection?

In the meantime, I've added you both as collaborators to this repository.

Excerpt from Github help page:

All links to the previous repository location are automatically redirected to the new location. When you use git clone, git fetch, or git push on a transferred repository, these commands will redirect to the new repository location or URL. However, to avoid confusion, we strongly recommend updating any existing local clones to point to the new repository URL. <...>

Though worth to check how Glide and other dependency managers handles redirects.

As @Pawka said, if we use the transfer ownership feature, then GitHub will do redirects. Glide shells out to the VCS themselves so we should be fine on that front.

Hey @etcinit,

I'm wondering if you had some time to consider the ownership transfer. Getting individual write permissions doesn't work for us as people join and leave the company.

If we can't do the ownership transfer and no-one else in the community picks up the maintenance work, we will have to fork the repository (once again), leaving a bunch of glide.yaml or Gopkg.toml outdated for sure.

Let me know if you have a any question!
