Maintain aioresponses

[Polandia94]

I think aioresponses is the most used tool to mock aiohttp. however it looks unmaintained. Are you open to maintain a fork of aioresponses, or maybe to request the transfer of aioresponses to this org if the current maintainers accept?

I left a comment on aioresponses about this:
pnuckowski/aioresponses#281

And I created a repo with changes that i would like to see on aioresponses. I could maintain the fork there, but probablly is better to do it in some org like this (i will also ask on pytest)

I think it's a possibility, as we've seen a fair few users mentioning the library.

We do normally recommend sending actual requests though, rather than mocking like this. So, I'm not sure any aiohttp maintainers have used this library before.

I think this might create an additional burden on the current maintainers but if someone else were to maintain it, hosting it in the org could be acceptable. Though, I wonder if the aiohttp docs could be improved to shop better ways of doing testing so that the users wouldn't assume that lib is the way to go...

Try reaching out to these emails, perhaps? https://github.com/pnuckowski/aioresponses/blob/master/AUTHORS.rst

re:pytest — the lib doesn't seem to have a respective integration interface so I wouldn't accept it there unless that was remade which would probably assume redesigning the UX I imagine.

The author seems to be Polish so I'd suggest maybe trying to track them at EuroPython (Kraków, July), or PyCon PL (August?), or maybe some local communities. Could ask @johnslavik if he happens to know the aioresponses author I suppose..

I've checked and I don't know them personally.

Thanks for checking!
