Thank you very much Alejandro for this.

I've contacted Javier to make the Samuel patches about the iPython5 
support available, he has made the review.

I really respect the Javier work on Accerciser and his involvement on 
accessibility.
I've contacted him privately the 2018-10-17 about Accerciser release 
without any answer from him.
I personally consider we shouldn't wait more because I shouldn't have to 
request a new release to a maintainer after years. I assume he no longer 
has the time to work on Accerciser.

@Alejandro: Does Samuel need to have a sponsor to become a maintainer ?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Alex.
