SGTM. It's one of my favorite stdlib modules wrapping an external library -- I use it for a variety of tasks to which it is well-suited. Go Berker!

Hello, After noticing that many issues were opened for it and it was lacking maintenance, I contacted the sqlite3 module's historical author and maintainer, Gerhard Häring (for the record, Gerhard didn't make any changes to the sqlite3 module since 2011... and the Python 2-only, third-party "pysqlite" module, which he maintains as well, did not receive many changes lately). He answered me that he was ok to declare the sqlite3 module as officially unmaintained. Since sqlite3 is such a useful and widely-used standard library module, it probably deserves someone competent and motivated to maintain it. Berker Peksağ is also interested in sqlite3 and is interested in helping maintain it (I'm trying to channel his private words here... I hope I don't misrepresent his position). Regards Antoine.
