Ask github and @wertarbyte to make this the canonical autorandr repo about autorandr

[phillipberndt]

I don't think that either is a good idea. Werarbyte wrote the original autorandr, the lineage information "forked from wertarbyte/autorandr" is correct, and the commit history is indeed such that this repo's commits are a superset of his'. Cutting the ties would be a very impolite thing to do if I don't rename the project at the same time, and I don't want to go through that hassle needlessly.

I believe that a better idea would be to place a warning into his repository: "Hey, this is unmaintained. For the time being, please go here: <link>". That's the de facto standard thing to do, see e.g. pdfpc, which even does this two levels deep.

I tried to reach out to wertarbyte in wertarbyte/autorandr#36 and wertarbyte/autorandr#33 more than two years ago in this regard. He's obviously no longer interested in maintaining his repo let alone adding a hint about it's state and the existence of this fork. I also filed a feature request with Github for automatically displaying a warning to users visiting a repository which has been inactive for a prolonged period of time but for which active forks exist around the same time, but nothing happened. Apparently, this isn't a pressing issue to them.

Feel free to try to help persuade either party :)
