Hello,

I hope you are all well, I currently have an issue / merge request that has
become stale and as per the guidelines I am sending this e-mail to request
someone to review it for me please.

Issue Number: 42861 (https://bugs.python.org/issue42861)
Pull Request: 24180 (https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/24180)

This is my first contribution to CPython and I am very keen to get this
added as I think it is an almost essential enhancement missing from the
ipaddress module.  I would greatly appreciate if someone can take a look
and give me feedback, I am more than happy to help explain things, as I
appreciate this is not the most straightforward thing to do.

Effectively, this method allows you to get the next closest network of any
prefix size, it works by effectively adding 1 to the host portion of the
network.  There is actually a very nice guide someone made on stackexchange
explaining how to do this calculation manually, I simply followed this
logic and have tested it as much as possible and it seems to work great.
See here:
https://networkengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/7106/how-do-you-calculate-the-prefix-network-subnet-and-host-numbers/53994#53994

Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help get this
merged.

Kind regards,

Faisal.
