Reasons for the request

I am requesting ownership of the "caretaker" package on PyPI. Based on PEP 541 this project has been abandoned and name squatted.

Name Squatting:

• Project has not been updated since originally setup.
• There has only ever been one "pre-release" in April 2014.
• There have been no updates in over 10 years.
• Project description just lists "UNKNOWN"
• Package is empty and appears to have no functionality

Abandoned:

• Homepage link returns 404 error.
• An email to the maintainer has not been replied (since August 11, 2024)
• Inaccessible project source (github link returns 404 error).

Maintenance or replacement?

Contact and additional research

I reached out to the maintainer of the package, Kim Thoenen, via an email listed in their profile on April 11 - [email protected]. There has been no response (September 15).

The linked github project appears to have been deleted.

Author's website in Github - https://thoenen.solutions - also returns 404 with no avenue for contact. DNS record is registered to cloudflare and does not list any additional contact information.
