Sorl-thumbnail: Proposal: Move to Jazzband to expand development efforts
Quoting from the Jazzband website
Jazzband is a cooperative experiment to reduce the stress of maintaining Open Source software alone.
We use this project in a few of our applications, and I can see that we're not the only ones using it. I've noticed the backlog of tickets and pull requests, as well as the long time since the latest release.
As a fellow open source maintainer, I understand the added work that goes into maintaining an open source project, especially one that isn't your main focus. That's why I'm proposing that you move (or donate, same idea) the project to Jazzband, to increase the number of possible maintainers of the project.
You can read more about how Jazzband works (and the guidelines for submitting projects) at https://jazzband.co/about/guidelines

@mariocesar It is so sad to this this project in such state, please move sorl-thumbnail to jazzband so we can improve the speed release cycle.

@camilonova I'm worried also.
Will review all this week, now that I have the time.

@mariocesar How it went your review? Can we move forward?

Will do,
I was expecting contributors but it feels better to just move out. There are forks with new designs and based on more broad usage scenarios, I was always feeling that sorl.thumbnail could implement those ideas, however it feels that legacy support is more important and critical for most people, I respect that

@camilonova could you prepare the move? I will authorize the organization change as soon everything is ready

@mariocesar I hugely appreciate the work you do maintaining sorl.thumbnail. I don't know if the step forward is to open this repo to Jazzband, or something else, but I would like to see a situation where you don't have to carry the load by yourself.
Even if this Github repo gets moved to Jazzband, there is still the issue of uploading packages to PyPI. Only aino and mariocesar (who I assume is you) can do that.

As I understand there is a list of guidelines to comply before moving out, if any current maintainer could help me doing those errands we could move faster
