PEP 541 Request: Seshat

[roelj]

Project to be claimed

seshat: https://pypi.org/project/Seshat

Your PyPI username

roelj: https://pypi.org/user/roelj

Reasons for the request

I'd like to adopt the project name Seshat to release a new project. (So not maintain the current Seshat project, but rather upload entirely different code).

Maintenance or replacement?

Replacement

Source code repositories URLs

The current source code repository:
https://github.com/kstrauser/seshat

The code that will replace this repository:
https://github.com/roelj/djehuty (this will be renamed once the transfer is complete)

The code of this repository is and will deviate further from the already-published djehuty project. It's maintained by different people and has set a different goal.

Contact and additional research

I'd like congratulate @kstrauser for the awesome project name, and thank him for the kindness in helping me out. Could you @kstrauser confirm that you are OK with the transfer?

Code of Conduct

• I agree to follow the PSF Code of Conduct

[kstrauser]

Hey PyPI team, I'm confirming that I approve this transfer. I wrote the old project as a Pyramid plugin to support webchats for an employee like 6 jobs ago. I've never seen evidence that anyone else on the planet ever used it. That employer switched to an ASP.NET platform (ugh, no, seriously) after I left. The end result is that my project hasn't been updated, or used, in over 15 years. If @roelj wants to put the name to good use, he has my blessing.

I work in security. I'm all too aware of potential risks in re-using a name. But in this specific case, I basically never used the name in the first place. This isn't like switching requests or something else popular.
