Elpy: Change of maintainership

[jorgenschaefer]

Hello @galaunay!
As you have noticed, I have been less and less active the last months. I simply do not have the time to work on Elpy anymore. As you have been doing a great job and your decisions and changes have been pretty much spot on – thank you again so much for all your great work! – would you like to take over maintainership officially?

I will stop responding to issues here unless I'm mentioned explicitly.

I wouldn't mind helping with minor fixes/features.

Hi @jorgenschaefer,

I would be happy to take over.
I will try my best to take good care of Elpy, as you did those 6 past years.
Thanks for your trust on that matter.

However, I guess it will take a bit of time from both our sides to switch (you will have to brief me on the release process at least ?), and it is kind of a bad time for me (as you can see for my late reply...).
Would you consider doing that in a few weeks, when I would be able to take the time to do it properly ?

[jorgenschaefer]

I'm definitely not gone and you can @mention me any time. I just noticed I can't keep up and I feel worse and worse for it.

The release process is nowadays basically './script/release`

This still includes the elpy PyPI package, but that package is basically useless and should not be used anymore, and shouldn't have been used anymore for many years. That step can be removed.

Thank you so much for your work!

Hi @jorgenschaefer,

I made a release yesterday and somebody complained about the Pypi package to be obsolete on IRC.
I told him to use Melpa as recommended by the doc, but could we delete Elpy from Pypi to be sure nobody is using it anymore ?

[jorgenschaefer]

I deleted the project on PyPI. Thank you for all your work! :-)

I think removing the package was a bit of a hasty decision. For people not using the latest version, elpy python package cannot be installed and elpy won't work.

Elpy's python files come with Elpy since version 1.4 (mai 2014).
Are you using an older version than that ?

@jorgenschaefer I just realized that the documentation at readthedoc was not updated by the latest release (still mentioning Elpy 1.27). Is it not supposed to be triggered automatically from github ?
