PEP 541 Request: pytest-flake8

Project to be claimed

pytest-flake8: https://pypi.org/project/pytest-flake8

Your PyPI username

jaraco: https://pypi.org/user/jaraco

Reasons for the request

This issue is a renewal of #1584. Although @tholo stepped up about a year ago and got a release out with some fixes, the project has gone stale again and is accumulating more and more cruft as flake8 evolves and adapts but pytest-flake8 requires workarounds to simply operate.

In tholo/pytest-flake8#91, I've reached out to offer assistance, but without response. Best I can tell, the project has been idle since Mar 2022.

Several people are interested in helping out with maintenance and I'm eager to revive the project, mentor a larger team, and get some fixes released. I'm also willing to hand the project back or give tholo control or follow his direction as he sees fit.

Maintenance or replacement?

@jaraco any progress so far?

[helpmefindaname]

I'd like to bump this issue,
when it was created, pytest-flake8 wasn't fulfilling 2 of the constraints of being considered abondoned:

• no releases within the past twelve months -> the last release was on 18.03.2022, hence little less than 11 month on creation
• no activity from the owner on the project’s home page (or no home page listed).-> the last activity was on 18.03.2022 (commiting and releasing), hence little less than 11 month on creation.

Now that we are past the 18.03.2023, pytest-flake8 fulfills all constraints to be considered abondoned. Notice that the author still didn't answer any of the tickets reaching out to him.

This issue is even more important now that pytest-flake8 is silently broken, causing active harm by providing a false sense of security.

We are working to contact the owner to determine if they're reachable.

Disclaimer: We are providing support to the PyPI Administrators to validate
this request and make a recommendation on the outcome and actions to be
taken. Final determination will be made by the PyPI Administrators when our
process is complete.

[encukou]

We could not reach the owner, and we consider the project abandoned per
PEP 541.
We recommend that the PyPI Administrators assign jaraco as the new
owner of "pytest-flake8".
