I'm the only human upload for the following packages that I no longer intend
to maintain. Please let me know if you are interesting in taking over the
package. If no one steps up, if a package has rdepends I'll orphan it (since
a human uploader is required) and if it doesn't, i'll ask to have it removed:

aiodns (technically there's one other uploader, but they've been inactive for
years)
appdirs
django-anymail
django-impersonate
django-maintenancemode
django-organizations
django-wkhtmltopdf
pdfkit
pycares (also technical has another uploader that's deeply inactive)

There will be another list, but I'm currently short of motivation to complete
the email about my lack of motivation, so that's it for now.

I never saw any responses to this and looking in git, no one seems to have
stepped up. I've decided to keep aiodns and pycares for now, but I'll start
orphaning the others in the near future. Also, I only packaged python-
sparkpost as a dependency of django-anymail, so I'll orphan that one too.

Once that's done, I'll see about another list. If anyone wants to keep any of
these in the team, please speak up now.
