Release 2.0 about bugwarrior HOT 4 OPEN

Yes, we're close. There are two prerequisites, neither of which is blocking the other.

• Technical: Getting the code base ready for release is primarily my responsibility. I've marked milestones for the issues I think we should complete or at least investigate before releasing and assigned a couple to myself. If folks wanted to contribute to the unassigned issues to push this along it would most certainly be welcome.
• Administrative: This is out of my hands. We're still transitioning to @GothenburgBitFactory and have been having difficulties establishing communication channels. To this end:
  • @tbabej -- Ralph sent a couple emails to email addresses he believed were yours last week but it seems like they didn't get through. Is there a better way to contact you?

Re: Arch -- @JoshMock Am I correct in understanding that all Arch packages use system python which is now 3.12? I find it hard to believe anything works on Arch without more flexibility than that.

Correct. The downside of a rolling update Linux distro. The upside is that we help package maintainers by finding all the bugs before everyone else upgrades. 😉

Anyway, Arch's recommended workaround is to use one of Python's many packaging tools instead, depending on your need. I used pipx to get Bugwarrior working again, so I'm good for now.

Thanks for all your hard work maintaining this super valuable tool!

Just curious if there have been any updates on this. Arch Linux just bumped to Python 3.12, causing bugwarrior-pull to be broken due to missing the fix in #1019. I can run it in an env with an older Python build, so I have a workaround, but it'd be great to get all the latest changes out there. 🖤

Not much of an update:

• Technical: I'm very occasionally making marginal progress towards the milestones.
• Administrative: The taskwarrior community is planning to start having meetings soon and that should be a good opportunity to establish more reliable communication channels.
