Hello folks,
I've just orphaned python-chardet. I maintained it as a dependency of requests, but requests use python-charset-normalizer instead now.
I recommend any dependency to migrate as well.
The package is in good shape, it builds and installs fine. There is one update pending (reported today): https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2101067

docker-compose
docker-compose is not updated [1] since May 11, 2021, and we haven't new versions of 2.x. I think we should think in rules about packages which have gaps more than one year and what rules we should add to avoid these gaps, I suffer a lot with it on epel.

I’ve picked it up, as a few packages I maintain or care about do depend on it.

It appears that requests switched purely because the Apache Software Foundation doesn’t allow LGPL dependencies[1]. Is there another rationale that the various Python upstreams that use chardet would find convincing? Both projects appear to be actively maintained. I know that charset-normalizer is supposed to be much faster than chardet, but I haven’t seen any benchmarks.

The readme [0] of charset_normalizer provides a comparison of features and also info about performance.
