Hello,

My name is Christian Long. I'm new to the list, and I saw the call for
a maintainer for pytest-twisted. I have been working with Ralph to
take over maintenance on the pytest-twisted plugin.

I know a bit about Twisted, pytest and contributing to open source -
enough to get started.

So far, Ralph has given me ownership on PyPI and on github. However,
github won't allow me to transfer ownership to the pytest-dev
organization because I'm not an admin of pytest-dev.

The github docs have this to say:
https://help.github.com/articles/transferring-a-repository/

    If the user does not already have [admin or owner rights], a
    temporary admin team can be created with only the user.

So, we could do that, or I could transfer ownership of the github repo
to an existing pytest-dev admin who can then transfer it to the
organization.

Please let me know how you want to proceed.

Thank you for your help, and I look forward to working with you as the
new maintainer of pytest-twisted.

Christian Long
