[jeffgdotorg]

Project to be claimed

netbox: https://pypi.org/project/netbox

Your PyPI username

jeffgdotorg: https://pypi.org/user/jeffgdotorg

Reasons for the request

I believe this project is abandoned. My evidence includes:

• The most recent PyPI release, and in fact its only one, is dated December of 2022
• The most recent GitHub tag is dated January of 2023
• The most recent commit GitHub commit activity on any branch is from January 2023. Since the project's homepage is its GitHub URL, this implies no activity on the project's listed homepage.

Maintenance or replacement?

Current project: Hellboycc/netbox

Contact and additional research

I emailed the maintainer at their PyPI profile email on 2024-03-12 and again on 2024-03-18 but have received no reply (see screenshot below).

I created a GitHub issue on 2024-03-22 which has so far received no response.

Checking in on this request as it's now been open for six weeks. In the intervening time I have still not heard back from the current maintainer.

[jeffgdotorg]

Checking in to confirm that:

• We remain interested in assuming maintainership of the netbox package record on PyPI.
• I have not heard back from the current maintainer via the GitHub issue I created or via email. I have pinged both vehicles again.

Hi @jeffgdotorg,

We are working to contact the owner to determine if they're reachable and have sent them a courtesy message.

Final determination regarding project ownership will be made by the PyPI Administrators when the research process is complete.

[jeffgdotorg]

Thank you for the update, and for your efforts on behalf of PyPI.

Thanks @jeffgdotorg

Hi @Thespi-Brain, and thank you for looking into this. I've taken over ownership of this initiative on our side. Please let me know if I can be of any assistance.

[Thespi-Brain]

The Owner was unreachable and did not get back to us regarding the status of their project despite multiple attempts. Therefore, we consider the project abandoned per PEP 541. I recommend that the PyPI Admins assign @jeffgdotorg as the new owner of netbox.
