Ongoing Support and Request for Maintainers

[rveachkc]

I probably should have done this a long time ago, but I honestly have neither the time, nor the energy to continue development on this project. I no longer have a use for it in my own projects, and I find it healthier to have hobbies that are not too similar to my daily job at work.

Truthfully, this whole project could really use an uplift to the new api, better tests and code style, but I'd rather pass it off to a new maintainer.

pymsteams does have an extensive dependency tree, so I feel quite a bit of responsibility to those who have trusted this project in the past. I'm committing to the following:

• stable code base with no breaking changes
• Update dependency requirements to pass GitHub
• Verify any new maintainer can be trusted. (I'd honestly love to turn this over to Microsoft)

If you're finding this project for the first time, and it hasn't transferred ownership, perhaps you should try something else. Apprise looks pretty cool.

Since we're using this package quite extensively in our company, we, I and a colleague of mine, might can jump in as maintainers.

We it be possible to agree a hand-over phase where we get introduced to not so obvious details of the package and get advice how we should proceed in the mid-term future? I assume you have ideas what should be done next.

Hi @rveachkc i would love to be one of the maintainers, since we using this package.

While I can appreciate the offers to maintain, I'm really looking to turn this over to some sort of organization that can be trusted vs individuals on github.

Isn't this library becoming obsolete with the deprecation of "Incoming Webhooks" in teams? https://devblogs.microsoft.com/microsoft365dev/retirement-of-office-365-connectors-within-microsoft-teams/

I came here to confirm this as well. I'm assuming it's not going to support the adaptive card/workflow style azure webhooks until told otherwise.

The Microsoft deprecation is being discussed in https://github.com/rveachkc/pymsteams/issues/155

That's too bad, but in the wake of that unfortunate JiaTan business, totally understandable. I hope you find a sponsor, I'm sure plenty of orgs have used your work.
