+Redlock is a distributed locking mechanism built on top of Redis.
+The full specification is online at [Distributed locks with Redis](https://redis.io/topics/distlock).
+
+More than 6 years ago, on November 22, 2014, I published [redlock-rs],
+shortly after renamed it to just [redlock].
+In 2016 I tagged it as 1.0.
+In 2019 I did some code cleanup, dependency upgrades and merged some external contributions,
+resulting in a 1.1 release in April of this year.
+Shortly after I archived the repository to signal that I'm no longer maintaining it.

+
+This must have been one of my earliest Rust crates I published.
+It let me play around with the [Redis crate][redis], while also learning Rust.
+I've never even ran Redlock in any work or private project, so I don't even know if it holds up to its guarantees.

+
+Nonetheless it seems other people are relying on Redlock and the Redlock crate specifically.
+I was appraoched last month asking if I'd be willing to hand over maintainership.
+I agreed.
+
+**Ownership of the Redlock crate & repository will move to Aaron Griffin ([@aig787](https://github.com/aig787)) within the next days.**

+As of today the full implementation is a mere 130 lines of code (and an equal amount of test code),
+directly translated from the plaintext specification.
+Everyone who relies on it should be able to review that code.
