Does anybody know how to contact Kushal Das (FAS kushal), or whether he wants to remain active in Fedora?

I have initiated a non-reponsive maintainer check for by filing the required bug on python-ujson[1]. This is the required email for the non-responsive maintainer process[2].

The package has not been consistently updated despite offers of comaintainership and PR’s, nor has the maintainer responded to NEEDINFO requests[3]. He committed an update to 4.0.2 six months ago[4], but did not build it. I eventually kicked off a build after asking by email and receiving no response. Since then, python-ujson has again fallen significantly behind upstream.


I have tried email but have not received any response to multiple emails. I managed to contact him by IRC many months ago, and he agreed to add me as a co-maintainer for python-ujson, but it never happened and I haven’t been able to contact him since then. He has been posting on his personal blog[5] (monitored via Planet Fedora), but doesn’t seem to have been active at all in Fedora for about six months.


Other packages for which kushal is the primary maintainer, and for which there are PR’s or upstream release bugs that have been open at least several months, include at least the following:

- python-pandas: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2014890 (last commit by kushal 7 years ago)

- pycolumnize: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/pycolumnize/pull-request/1 (last commit by kushal 10 years ago)

- python-retask: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1697440 (last commit by kushal 6 years ago)

- uflash: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1742639 (last commit by kushal 6 years ago)

- vagrant-digitalocean: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1370826 (last commit by kushal 5 years ago)


See also a previous invocation of the non-responsive maintainer process for “tunir,” which was halted without resolution when kushal retired the package [6] [7].
