puente: end-of-life

[willkg]

I'm the current maintainer of puente. I'm maintaining too many things and I haven't used Puente in years, so I'm looking at either:

• passing maintenance to someone else
• or, ending the project

Puente was built to make it possible for projects to transition off of Tower. It was always intended to be a temporary stop-gap to using existing tooling provided in Django, Babel, and Jinja2. It's possible it might not be needed anymore.

If you're interested in taking over maintenance, that'd be great! If no one takes over, I'll shut down the project in May 2022.

I've got no takers for maintenance. addons-server decided to replace Puente with equivalent things:

https://github.com/mozilla/addons-server/issues/19076

Given that, I'm going to end the project.

FYI Kuma is deprecated, so MDN no longer depends on puente.
