Maintainers Wanted #20

Description

@ecc521

I am no longer willing to put in the time required to maintain this project. It was initially intended as a demonstration of inherent vulnerabilities in GimKit's design, and it has served that purpose well. GimKit has made it clear that their intention is not to mitigate the problem, but rather to aggressively kick out, report, and ban anybody that appears to be cheating - sometimes catching legitimate players in the process.

The inherent vulnerabilities that allowed this bot to work still exist, and will probably always exist. That has been demonstrated. I have no interest in designing a bot to automatically click buttons without getting banned (whether done through HTML, Accessibility controls mouse movements, or however), and choose to leave that for someone else, if anyone chooses to do so.

That said, I am still willing to review PRs, however do not plan to work on issues. I initially put this repository under the GPL with the hope that contributions could be crowdsourced, however this has not been the case, so I'm going to allow any of my contributions to this project to be used under the MIT License as well, in the hope of encouraging outside development. A small portion was done by @FloppyT, who's contributions are still under the GPL.

I'm not going to archive this project, as it is not beyond salvage, and I hope that others will carry along with it, however I no longer have any significant interest in maintaining it. Good luck.
