Looking for a new maintainer for pymb2 and libdiscid

Monday, June 29th, 2009

Matthias Friedrich (yalaforge) finds himself with little spare time on his hands these days and has asked me to find a new maintainer for the Python MusicBrainz library (pymusicbrainz2) and for the C based libdiscid library. While libdiscid doesn’t require immediate work, the pymb2 library needs to have support for Release Groups (from the 2009-05-24 server update) added in.

Matthias suggested that anyone interested in becoming the maintainer should write a patch to add the needed release groups support. I think this is a good idea — anyone interested?

If so, please post a comment!

And thanks for your hard work on these projects Matthias!

A quick FYI before I go back to heads down mode for NGS — last night I imported the CD Baby metadata into our CD Stub collection:

Imported 196642 CDs. Already had 8382 CDs

We now have almost 50% more Disc Ids in our collection. :)
