I'm not sure if we know each other, but I have the knowledge that you are a nice guy.

I'm not sure what would be the best practices for this case, but definitely a continued packaging is preferred from my side. > Let me know if that's something you'd be up for collaboratong on, > László!

To be honest, I was going to look for an adopter for this package this summer, probably after migrating it to src:pypdf. If you are interested, even contributed already to the project then you are the best candidate. As noted, you can take over immediately while leaving me as an uploader for a while. Best, Laszlo/GCS
