The library seems to be fairly solid; the only change I made a while ago was to adapt it to Python3 as well (ie, the module works with both deployed versions of Python on top of the latest major version of RDFLib). The library is also what drives an RDFa extraction service at W3C[2].

Maintaining this library, possibly developing it further as RDFLib evolves, etc, is not something I can commit myself to do any more. I am looking for a person (or persons) who would be willing to take over this responsibility...

I am not sure what you mean by “contributing it into the rdflib project”… The repository is under the RDFLib “organization” of github right now, alongside a number of other projects that evolve around RDFLib. I do not think there is anything more to it, but I may be wrong about it.

Nevertheless, I have also raised a github issue[1] cc-ing to the relevant github team; maybe there will be takers from that community.

Thanks
