PEP 541 Request: galactic

[chdemko]

Project to be claimed

galactic: https://pypi.org/project/galactic

Your PyPI username

chdemko: https://pypi.org/user/chdemko

Reasons for the request

Hello,

We are a team of french researchers conducting studies in the field of Formal Concept Analysis, for which we are developing a software ecosystem under the acronym GALACTIC (Galois Lattices, Concept Theory, Implicational System and Closures) https://galactic.univ-lr.fr.

We would like to publish one of these Python packages on PyPI, but the name galactic has been squatted since October 30, 2015 (with no updates since) by a user named luke, who has not responded to our email requests (see emails sent below). He was completely inactive on the GitHub platform for a time (we even thought he might have passed away), before recently becoming active again.

Would it be possible to transfer the ownership of this project to the user chdemko?

PS: currently, the project cannot be installed:

$ pip install galactic
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement galactic (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for galactic

Maintenance or replacement?

Hi,

We are researcher from the university of La Rochelle, France and we have 
a project called "galactic" (https://gitlab.univ-lr.fr/galactic) and 
since there is no update on the project you create on pypi, I would want 
to know if it's possible to transfer ownership of this project to our 
research team (https://pypi.org/user/thegalactic.org/).

Hi,

Would it be possible to get a response, as it seems you are no longer 
very active on GitHub, particularly?
