Case in point: During a few years, someone called Sho Katemori created and maintained a couple of (very) useful Sage-related packages fpr emacs users:
- sage-shell-mode: an emacs interface to Sage, allowing the integration of typeset maths and 2D graphics in an emacs buffer managing a Sage interactive session ; - ob-sagemath <https://github.com/stakemori/ob-sagemath>, an org-mode interface to Sage, alowing integration of "live" Sage code snippets in a document ; - anything-sage <https://github.com/stakemori/anything-sage>, auto-complete-sage <https://github.com/stakemori/auto-complete-sage> and helm sage <https://github.com/stakemori/helm-sage>, Sage extensions of various emacs utilities. Note: sage-shell-mode was a very welcome and timely replacement for the old sage-mode package, deemed unmaintainable by its maintainer (Ivan Andrus). It seems to have become popular (for Sage-reasonable values of "popular", of course...). However, Sho Katemori seems to have dropped off the Net: his (her ?) last contribution to his/hers Github repositories dates back to march 2018 ; an attempt to mail him/her is still unanswered. As a consequence, those package have some unanswered issues. It seems that sage-shell mode has been somehow "adopted" by Sage : its current repository <https://github.com/sagemath/sage-shell-mode> is now part of the Sage hierarchy on Github, which allowed Frédéric Chapoton, then myself, to integrate some change needed for Python 3 compatibility. I'd like to propose similar change to ob-sagemath ; it is also possible that some other users may propose changes to the other packages (which are not (yet) my cup of tea...). Hence the questions: - Can we "adopt" these packages as we did for sage-shell-mode ? - If so, how ? And, more generally: - Do we have a policy about external but sage-related software suffering "abandon" by their original authors/maintainers ?
