So here is a late but overdue followup. +The repositories of each of the libraries remain in the [Redis organization](https://github.com/redis) on GitHub. +Salvatore, the main developer of Redis, is the owner of this organization and has therefore full access to all repositories. + +## [redis-rb][] (and [hiredis-rb][]) + +I was approached by [Florian Weingarten](https://github.com/fw42) and asked if a team of Shopify devs can take over. +I handed over access to the GitHub repository to a list of people provided by Florian, all of which are employed by Shopify. +Additionally I granted them access to the Gem. +Currently most development and new versions (and a beta release!) are driven by [Jean Boussier](https://github.com/byroot). + +I trust Florian and his colleagues at Shopify to handle redis-rb. +I retain ownership rights to the GitHub repository and the Gem. + +## [hiredis-py][] + +I was approached by [Yue Du](https://github.com/ifduyue). +I handed over access to the GitHub repository as well as the PyPi package. + +I trust Yue to handle hiredis-py. +I retain ownership rights to the GitHub repository and the PyPi package. + +## [hiredis-node][] + +No new maintainers were added. +However, with [node-redis](http://redis.js.org/) there's rarely a need to have the C library in use. +I'm okay with deprecating it. + +## [hiredis][] + +The underlying C library, hiredis, remains in the hands of [Michael Grunder](https://github.com/michael-grunder). + +I trust Michael to handle hiredis. +I retain ownership rights to the GitHub repository. + +[redis-rb]: https://github.com/redis/redis-rb/ +[hiredis-rb]: https://github.com/redis/hiredis-rb +[hiredis-py]: https://github.com/redis/hiredis-py +[hiredis-node]: https://github.com/redis/hiredis-node +[hiredis]: https://github.com/redis/hiredis
