add type hints to the project

[bbc2]

Having type hints for this library would make it possible to check its usage in applications with Mypy. I currently have a work-in-progress of those type hints.

Before it can be accepted into python/typeshed, I need to get the permission from the maintainers, so is it OK if I submit Blinker stubs to typeshed?

this would be a super useful feature

[jek]

sorry I missed this: please feel free to submit to typeshed. also I'm very amenable to a patch that adds hints to the blinker project.

I'll add types to the code, don't add them to typeshed.

@davidism any update on this? I can try to support if you like 😄

@davidism I am also happy to help push this project into modern standards (started some work at #77 and #78)

If there's any need for help I'd be willing to spend some time on this as well, or are you still picking this up @davidism?

I am actively working on it right now. No need to start it on your end as well @sjaq

1.6.1, now released, has initial type hints.
