Hi!
Thanks for pointing out that GitHub discussion! I just wanted to write again to say how much I have appreciated all the work and effort put into Django Rest Framework over the years! It is not only a useful library/framework in general, but its adaptable/extendable structure/style and beautiful documentation have been a guideline and motivator for me to write useful, beautiful, adaptable code myself for a long time. Maintaining code in the open is hard work, and the quality delivered in this project has always been outstanding! Thank you very much to Tom Christie and everybody else who helped! My two cents about comments regarding the lack of discussion or further development: I personally very much appreciate feature-complete software. There can and should be a point where something is done and useful for years to come. I actually prefer it over too much change and feature bloat just to appear active. Django Rest Framework is excellent as it is, in my opinion, and if there are only security patches and updated CI to cover newer Django/Python releases, I could not be happier. A blog post or short announcement in the README about the intentions behind closing issues might have helped, but we have this thread here now. :) I am not sure if it really works, but maybe we can get the issues back to read-only using this trick: https://docs.github.com/en/communities/using-templates-to-encourage-useful-issues-and-pull-requests/configuring-issue-templates-for-your-repository#configuring-the-template-chooser ...and if not, that's okay. Thank you!
