Is this project dead?

Open steinsag opened this issue 4 years ago • 5 comments

There hasn't been any update since a long time. There open issues and pull requests ready to get merged. Should we fork this repo?

I think so. The owner hasn't been on GitHub for months now.

None of the forks are actively maintained either.

This is not a very nice way to ask someone to work for you for free.

The original maintainer hasn't updated this project for a long time, and that's fine. No one is entitled to their labour.

A benign fork incorporating the various PRs that have accumulated would be a great thing, but only if it has enough maintainers to survive. We don't want to end up with a repeat of the flask-sessionstore confusion... :)

This was a great project and was appreciated by many!

Per GitHub, it looks like 22k projects are actively using it! I came here a few days ago and also found that @fengsp has moved on from Flask. No problem, we all change tech at some point.

I could not find any active forks that incorporated all the requested features and fixes.

To keep the project going (and keep my projects going 😉) I started a fork and attempted to merge in most of the open PR's. I also updated the tests and a few old deps with something more modern.

If anyone is interested in being a maintainer as well, please reach out.

Flask-Session is now part of Pallets-Eco, an open source organization managed by the Pallets team to facilitate community maintenance of Flask extensions. Anyone interested in helping maintain this project can ask for commit access in the #flask-session channel on https://discord.gg/pallets.
