Project seems unmaintained
qifparse is an incredibly useful project and its overall design is easy to understand and hack on.
But we have one problem: the project seems to no longer be maintained.
There is only one maintainer and he seems to have very little time for this project. PRs with bug fixes and improvements have been open for months. In fact, the last code change occurred on March 1, 2016.
Clearly, the current state of affairs cannot be attributed to a lack of community interest, as quite a few people have been forking the project, submitting PRs, and reporting issues over the last months.
I'm wondering if there is anything that can be done to improve the situation.
@giacomos perhaps you could consider letting someone from the community help you with maintaining the project?
I`ve never done it in GitHub but it should be just about "find someone you trust and make him maintainer"
Not sure if this the appropriate place to do it. But I'd like to put my hand up and say that I would be interested in maintaining this project.

sure. Send me your pypi username and I'll give you the maintenance. For the repository you can just use your own fork (I guess, let me know if it doesn't work)
I started merging the various PRs into my own fork of this project, but then I realized there's no LICENSE. @giacomos could you put an open source license on this? As is, nobody can really pick it up and fix it. (MIT would be nice if you have no preference)
