If possible, it's better to transfer the repo, so that GitHub provides redirects on the old location.

But that requires the owner of the current repo to initiate the transfer.

I don't have the necessary admin access; it's possible that @U050BA9V5 does.

Original author is MIA.

If no current maintainer has permission to transfer the repo, then we'd have to fork it into clj-commons -- but we should try to reach the various current maintainers to double-check first.

(and if we have to fork it, it would be nice for someone to then update the README in the original repo to add a note stating the clj-commons version is the definitive, maintained version going forward)

I can do the latter, I have commit rights but not admin rights.

'k... when did you last email <mailto:[email protected]|[email protected]> about possibly transferring the repo?

I don't see the settings wheel here: https://github.com/trhura/clojure-humanize so I assume I don't have admin rights either

Well, try emailing them directly and give them a week to respond, just to be polite.

Here's the discussion thread from back in October 2022: https://github.com/trhura/clojure-humanize/pull/28

So, wait a few days and see.

Yeah, so he was active in October... I would directly email him, in case he has notifications from GH suppressed (which we've seen is fairly common when maintainers decide to "abandon" projects).

Fair enough.

... and done.

(I have set a reminder to revisit this on Monday)

Thura Hlaing has been in contact with me; they're attempting to xfer the original repo to me so that I can xfer it to clj-commons.

Great news! Let us know if you need any additional help.

Ok, Thura xfered the repo to me, and I'm ready to xfer it to clj-commons, but I don't seem to have the necessary access.

I can request a xfer and let someone else accept it, I guess.

> To transfer a repository that you own to an organization, you must have permission to create a repository in the target organization.

Sent you an invite to join the org. Once you're in, I'll make sure you have the right permissions.

I've joined. Let me see about the xfer.

I suspect it will xfer in as a private repo, and we can make it public once it is done.
