The last release of this package was in 2014, so it looks like it's no longer maintained at all

Dear @keleshev, @mboersma, and @graingert,

does one of you have the powers to integrate this patch and run a new release? It would be so sweet!

With kind regards,
Andreas.

AFAIK these were fixed in 2018 in #435 but it was never merged or released.

Hi again. Shall we do something about this package for those who still need it, like maintenance, hereby asking for permission? @bob-schumaker also submitted a similar patch at GH-523, right?

Also pinging the authors and most recent committers, @keleshev, @yb66, @mboersma, @graingert about it. Thank you very much in advance. 🙏

See @Sylvain303's answer at #519 (comment):

There is docopt-ng now, maintained by @jazzband. Cheers, @itdaniher, @johnscillieri, @nyurik, @hugovk, @jezdez, @NickCrews, @sturmianseq, and @h4l. 💙

[bob-schumaker]

I saw this too and the upgrade is seamless. Either way I'm happy ATM :)

Maybe someone has the powers to update the README with a prominent admonition at the top to refer to docopt-ng, and after that, press the "Archive Repository" button?
