Avro crate name request for donation

[iemejia]

Hello @jminer, We and other people @flavray + @poros + @RyanSkraba are trying to have a consolidated Avro implementation on Rust as part of the Apache Avro project.

flavray/avro-rs#189

For this reason I wanted to contact you because you are the current owner of the avro crate to see if you would be interested on sharing the crate name with us so we can publish future versions of Apache Avro into using the avro crate name.

We also contacted @Dandandan who generously accepted to donate to us the avro-tools name he used in his own project Dandandan/avro-tools-rust so we will be in a perfect situation if you accept to give us the access.

Sorry for coming out of the blue with this request but I expect you see the value for the rust and Avro communities.

Thanks,
Ismaël (current Apache Avro PMC Chair).

Hi, pinging again, we are preparing the next Apache Avro release (1.11.0) and it would be great if we could do the release using the avro crate, of course if you agree to transfer the crate name.
