Comment (by Jon Dufresne):
> To me, at this point, html5lib essentially looks unmaintained.
I agree with this observation. The previous main maintainer looks to have
stopped working on the project. Responses to issues and PRs have stopped.

And from that, what do you think about Django adopting it? What's the
alternative?
For my own projects, I'll probably continue using html5lib until its
staleness creates an observable bug for me. I haven't hit that point yet.
Bleach, on the other hand, looks like maintenance has slowed, but not
stopped. I believe they have vendored html5lib to allow them to make
changes internally. FWIW, I also still use Bleach.

I'm not familiar with all the details of this ticket, but would the stdlib
HTML parser be sufficient?
