Hello, I have created these forked repos so I could request Github to
redirect the original ones to those, but I heard no response of any
kind from their support channel.

That would be definitely welcome.

What we need is for someone to contact the PIP maintainers so that
this fork would take over future releases in their repo. But we don't
currently have a maintainer for this package. Ítalo Maia mentioned
interest — does the offer still stand? Ideally it would be best to
have multiple maintainers. If anyone is interested in sharing this,
let me know off-list and I'll grant access to the luarocks/hererocks
repository.

Thank you,
