Abandoned project name request: cumulus?

[bli25]

I'm trying to import our team's github project https://github.com/klarman-cell-observatory/cumulus into readthedocs and name it "cumulus". When I search "cumulus", I found a project already exists with that name. However when I go to the corresponding readthedocs project, https://readthedocs.org/projects/cumulus/, there is nothing there. However, if I go to https://cumulus.readthedocs.io/en/latest/, I can see some pages, which link to a Git repo.

I'm confused. Should I consider it as an abandoned project since there is nothing under the project? Or contact the owner of the Git repo linked via cumulus.readthedocs.io?

If I should contact the owner of the git repo, how do I demonstrate "no response for 6 weeks"?

Thanks for any help!

You can try to contact to the user on your own and request permissions to the project. If you are unable to contact the user, we can contact the user with their email (this is the 6 weeks count). Looks like the project isn't maintained anyway.

Also the project is on https://readthedocs.org/projects/cumulus/, but looks like it is set to private (we are about to drop privacy levels too #6194)

@stsewd , thanks a lot! I have contacted the owner but got no replied. Please start the 6 weeks count.

Thanks,
Bo

@stsewd set a reminder for Nov 14th 2019

I wasn't able to send the email to the one associated to the rtd account, it gives me an error. I'm pinning @msessa here. Let us know if you are ok giving permissions to @bli25broad over the Read the Docs project.

[bli25]

@stsewd , I haven't received any message from @messa. Should we start to count for 6 weeks?

Thanks,
Bo

[stsewd]

I have already set the count, but I wasn't able to send the email to the one that is in their rtd account.

@stsewd , I haven't received any message from @messa

You made a typo, I’ve never heard about cumulus :)

[bli25]

@messa , sorry for the typo!

[bli25]

@stsewd , since we cannot send the email, should we still wait for 6 weeks?

Thanks,
Bo

[stsewd]

Yes, let's just wait in case the github mention works

[bli25]

Sure thing. Thanks @stsewd .

[bli25]

Hi @stsewd , is the 6 week clock due next Monday or Tuesday?

[stsewd]
