Process to take over existing (dead) extension

[chris....@adeven.com]

Hi all;

I am wondering how one can take over an existing but dead distribution.  The case is discussed to some extent here:

https://github.com/infofarmer/hashtypes/issues/7

Andrey Popp is the current maintainer of the distribution and expresses there willingness to have us take it over.

I know PGXN has had some system of permissions in the works for some time but nothing yet working.  Is there anything

I can do to help with that as well?

The situation is we use hashtypes extensively, have solved a number of problems with it, and would like to be able to use

pgxn to continue where the old project has left off.  If there is a process or some way for contact to be made, I will put it in the ticket

on that project and see what we can do to get it going.

Best Wishes,

Chris Travers

I’ll reach out to Audrey directly and get her blessing for the transfer of ownership and make it happen.

Best,
