Hi David,

I feel your pain, having the same problem for several of my projects! I think @rbarrois and myself could help out here. We use phonenumbers as part of our job and both have experience maintaining Python packages, e.g.:

https://github.com/FactoryBoy/factory_boy
https://github.com/rbarrois/python-semanticversion
https://github.com/aiortc/aiortc
https://github.com/aiortc/aioquic

Let us know if we can help out.

Take care,
Jeremy

I'm also happy to help if useful as an (infrequent) past contributor -- I currently maintain Sphinx/Docutils so very happy to support phonenumbers.

Thanks,
Adam

@AA-Turner has a point, @rbarrois and I have never contributed to this repo so in your shoes I'd have a healthy suspicion of new contributors offering to co-maintain. The offer still stands if you want help further down the line.

@daviddrysdale, we are using phonenumbers in my company for many use cases. Recently, Cython released the 3.0 version with a Pure Python mode, and I think it would be a game changer in this library, as most of the code is just Python logic using basic types. I would may be interested in helping migrate part of the code to Cython 3.0 and drop support for Python 2.

What do you think about it?

@msaelices : could you raise your suggestion as a separate issue please, so any discussion can be separated from this one – thanks.
