> As a side note, @hukkinj1 , if this will be an officially blessed and supported project, it might be a good idea to learn from that experience, minimize bus factor and follow responsible practices by ensuring it is GitHub/GitLab/etc org, and has multiple maintainers on PyPI, to avoid a single point of failure

I’ve added hauntsaninja and encukou as maintainers on GitHub and PyPI to increase bus factor.

An FYI to everyone in this thread: we how have a PEP draft ([PEP 680](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0680/)) and a separate discussion for it in [the PEPs category](https://discuss.python.org/t/pep-680-tomllib-support-for-parsing-toml-in-the-standard-library/13040) (thanks @hauntsaninja!).
