Actix-web: Maintenance transfer of actix-web-httpauth crate

[svartalf]

I have this actix-web-httpauth crate, which provides headers and extractors for HTTP Authorization routines; right now it supports only actix-web = "^1", but there is a PR for actix-web 2.x, so it should not be a big problem to update it quickly.

Yet, I don't think that I will be able to allocate time to support it properly in a nearby future, so I want to handle the bus factor here and transfer the maintenance; that includes moving the repository and adding crate maintainers at crates.io.

I would prefer to transfer it to https://github.com/actix org directly if it is okay with the Actix Team, but I'm open to suggestions too.

I am happy to move it to actix org, but someone should take formal maintainer role

[JohnTitor]

I'm available to maintain that crate and help some work. (nice work @svartalf!)

[svartalf]

@fafhrd91 great to hear! As far as I understand, nothing stops us to start the process?

@JohnTitor it seems that crates.io requires from user to be a part of github organization in order to add github:actix:owners owner to the crate, so I can add you as a crate owner and you will handle any ownership issues from there; is it okay with you?

Sure thing 👍

@svartalf yes, just move it to actix org

[JohnTitor]

@svartalf AFAIK, transfering repo to org also needs permission to create a repo in the org. If so, could you transfer repo to @fafhrd91 or me?

[svartalf]

@JohnTitor yeah, you are right, I can't transfer repo to actix org directly, so I requested transfer to you and added you as a crate owner also (there should be a pending invite in your crates.io profile somewhere)

[JohnTitor]

Okay, transfering(moving repo and setting crate owner on crates.io) seems successful.

@fafhrd91 could you modify permissions for the repo? I cannot do because I'm not an org owner.

And @svartalf, thanks again for your great work!

[fafhrd91]

done

[JohnTitor]

So, all work is done?

[svartalf]

@JohnTitor it seems so. Feel free to contact me in case we forgot about something :)
Thank you for handling this crate, it would be a pity to abandon it
