how a 5k stars library goes deprecated without notice?

I'm sorry, but @michelle @ericz , how a 5k stars library goes deprecated without notice?

Attempts to contact those folks have always failed for me. It's really sad when folks completely abandon their project even when it's in heavy use, without allowing someone else to take it over.

If we can all agree on a fork, we can easily contest this with NPM, to at least recover the package name for the community.

I wrote them an email, I want to wait few days, but after that, I can support you recovering the package.

Hi there,

I apologize for the radio silence here -- there's no excuse for it.

If someone would like to take over this project, I'm more than happy to give them full access.

Thanks @michelle , if you could give @bradisbell or me access, we will try to recover it.

[michelle]

I've gone ahead and invited you to a team with admin access.

[kidandcat]

Thanks @michelle I will start reviewing PRs in a few days, may you have the original website with the documentation?

[michelle]

@kidandcat it's a private repo, so I've invited you separately :).

[kidandcat]

I can't accept the invitation without the repo's URL :(
