On: Issue: find a new home for repos including Requests

[hartator]

kennethreitz has not been responsible? `requests` is my favorite http library in all languages so far.

[jrimbault → hartator]

He has shown patterns of bad behaviors. One recent example of the top of my head :

- https://vorpus.org/blog/why-im-not-collaborating-with-kennet...

- and HN's thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19826680

Request has not been maintained by Reitz for some time now (meaning he hasn't contributed).

[kamyarg → hartator]

Take a look into pipenv issues and how he handles legitimate broken features such as --keep-outdated and you will know[1].

Requests I agree has been very stable.

Also as an extra reading regarding async support for requests take a look at this article by a Python core Developer(Nathaniel J. Smith):
