Due to a change in my role, I’m no longer going to be able to spend as much time as I have with maintaining the plugins listed below. The maintenance burden is very light, and releases are handled through Travis CI. I’ve already had some excellent help from Jim Brännlund (BeyondEvil), and have added him as a developer to a few of these. I’d appreciate any additional help from the community to support these plugins, and if you’re aware of somebody who would like to contribute please point them in my direction.

https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-base-url <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-base-url> - A very small plugin, no commits in over a year
https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-selenium <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-selenium> - Jim is a developer, and helps out a lot with this one, he's taken care of much of the recent development and responding to issues
https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-html <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-html> - This is probably the most popular plugin I’ve been maintaining, and I think there’s a lot of potential for enhancements (great ideas already in the tracker)
https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-metadata <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-metadata> - Split off as a dependency for pytest-html, relatively small plugin and minimal maintenance needs. Jim is a developer for this plugin too
https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-variables <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-variables> - Another small plugin with very few maintenance needs
https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-repeat <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-repeat> - I don’t really maintain this one currently, but feel that it’s worth mentioning because I was one of the early contributors

I’m happy to answer any questions, and keen to hear any suggestions for handling any handover

I’m sure these are in safe hands, and I will continue to use them myself, and promote the use of them to others!

Cheers,
Dave
