[PROPOSAL] Pass the project to someone else about pyrogram HOT 3 OPEN

I'd like to point out that the creator of this project, Dan, has withdrew $645 from Open Collective during March 2024. This was pretty much all the funding the project received ($649.26 in total). The purpose of the withdrawals are stated as "Development and Maintenance". Interesting as the last commit Dan made was in April 2023.

I'm not saying Dan doesn't deserve the $645 that was donated. But it seems disingenuous to see Dan make commits on GitHub to other projects and see him withdraw money from a project he's been neglecting in the name of "Development and Maintenance".

I get people are busy and move on with their lives, but Dan has clearly not forgotten about Pyrogram's existence. Of course as this is opensource, we're not entitled to anything. Simply just asking to pass the torch onto the community, as this is a project that many of us depend on.

If Dan required financial support for the project, they could have made a plea to the community. I'm sure most of us reading this thread would have donated.

I indeed saw this while writing the issue, although I didn't thought it was necessary to mention it
The amount of money withdrew is lower than the total amount of money funded because of "payment processor fees"
I also think than Dan deserves it, especially considering that he spent 6 years on this project (45ee7aa)

and I agree with you, most of us would have donated, including me, especially since this project helped me over the past 3 years :)

I would also like to add that forks are not doing anything apart from replace compiler/source/main_api.tl and recompile the project, and all new Telegram features just work like magic.
