Maintenance of this repository about tensornetwork

[refraction-ray]

To whom might be interested, I have been maintaining a forked version of the package under the name "tensornetwork-ng" which can be found at this GitHub repository: https://github.com/refraction-ray/TensorNetwork-NG. The main motivation behind this fork is to ensure the robustness of the downstream project, TensorCircuit, and to ensure its compatibility with future breaking changes in Python, NumPy, and JAX.

I must admit that due to limited resources and effort, I have only been able to maintain certain submodules while temporarily pruning others (irrelevant from tensorcircuit). However, I would be more than happy to welcome and encourage anyone interested to participate and contribute and I look forward to any potential collaborations and contributions :)

@VolodyaCO , TensorNetwork is a great package and I really appreciate the ML backend agnostic design. The main reason I chose to use this package is because, at the time I began working on TensorCircuit in 2020, TensorNetwork was being actively maintained and well-supported.

Thanks for your answer @refraction-ray. Indeed, my main interest is tensorcircuit. I see that in tensorcircuit people have been overriding some parts of the JAX backend from tensornetwork, but I was wondering why tensorcircuit was relying on an unmaintained package.
