Maintainer has left this world

[fredmenez]

Sadly, after a serious accident in 2016, Alexandre Césaro has deceased in 2021 at the age of 35.

I met him a few times during Go meetups in Paris. He seemed nice. I wish I could have known him a little more.

According to github rules, a next of kin, or an authorised person, should contact Github to inform them of the event and either toggle the repository in archived mode or organise a means of finding a new owner.

I have passed the information to his last employer whom I hope passed it to their HR. Somehow, as usual in big companies, the message got lost somewhere. Someone should try to reach them again regarding this.

Condolences to the family.

So, I'm not sure what to suggest now.
