paste uses a lot of deprecated functionality, much of it related to old
libraries like cgi and cgitb.

When Python 3.13 becomes the main Python release this deprecated
functionality will be removed and without a fair bit of work paste will
stop working.

I personally do not think we should continue to maintain paste. It is an
old tool using old technology that is no longer aligned with modern
techniques or tools.

I would like us to consider winding it down but I'm not certain who should
be involved in the discussion so pinging some of the people who have made
contributions to the project over the last while: @a-detiste
<https://github.com/a-detiste> , @amitmarkel <https://github.com/amitmarkel>
, @benjaminp <https://github.com/benjaminp> , @Cito
<https://github.com/Cito> , @cjwatson <https://github.com/cjwatson> ,
@CyrilRoelandteNovance <https://github.com/CyrilRoelandteNovance> , @blueyed
<https://github.com/blueyed> , @brondsem <https://github.com/brondsem> ,
@hugovk <https://github.com/hugovk> , and of course @ianb
<https://github.com/ianb> .

Please register your opinion.

If you feel like paste should carry on living, and want to volunteer to
take over maintenance I'm very willing to transfer ownership.

I also maintain pastescript and feel it should end too, so if someone wants
to take them as a package deal that would be great.
