Consider migrating project to some community umbrella

[lorentzenchr]

What about a possible migration of formulaic under some community space like pydata (like patsy) or statsmodels (like statsmodels)?

This is just a suggestion with the purpose of a broader community support and with the lessons learnt from patsy in mind. I'm not a member of any of those github organizations.

From the patsy Readme:

patsy is no longer under active development. As of August 2021, Matthew Wardrop (@matthewwardrop) and Tomás Capretto (@tomicapretto) have taken on responsibility from Nathaniel Smith (@njsmith) for keeping the lights on, but no new feature development is planned. The spiritual successor of this project is Formulaic, and we recommend those interested in new feature development contribute there.

Then there are, e.g., statsmodels/statsmodels#6858 and bambinos/formulae#51 (comment).

It would be interesting to hear different peoples' perspectives including the current maintainer @matthewwardrop, but also—if I may ping you—@tomicapretto, @bashtage, @josef-pkt, @rgommers.

Hi @lorentzenchr ! I have no qualms migrating this project to some community umbrella, but am not sure of the process/etc, and will look into it more after formulaic matures and gains more traction.
