Transfer ownership of gem to Kreeti

Author: johnnyshieldsCreated Mar 29, 2021Updated Dec 30, 2022

Kreeti is doing a good job with kt-paperclip. I'd like to suggest to Thoughtbot folks to transfer ownership of the gem to them, and release the first new version as paperclip 7.0.0.

Please consider that there are many third party gems that enhance paperclip. In my project for example, I have delayed-paperclip and mongoid-paperclip. Even though I installed kt-paperclip, these gems still load the old paperclip as a dependency, creating a namespace kludge.

(I'm not affiliated with Kreeti in any way, just a dude using Paperclip and want to see it maintained, esp. in light of the recent mimemagic debacle.)
