Intent to retire people.gnome.org (31th of March)

[Andrea Veri <av gnome org>]

Foundation members, developers, contributors,

We've analyzed people.gnome.org usage over the course of 2021 and Q1 2022 and the actual results did not surprise us given the multitude of ways hosting a tarball or a simple file contributors have these days (GitLab pages, download.gnome.org, GitLab release for non-official builds, Openshift). What we found is the service being heavily utilized by a single contributor with around 18 other contributors utilizing the service every few months.

With that in mind and unless anyone within the community objects with a good rationale we'll be retiring the service by the 31th of March.

Thanks,

Cheers,
