Transferring kubo NPM package name

[lidel]

Hi @queerviolet!

GO-IPFS project renamed to "Kubo" (ipfs/kubo#8959)
and are slowly migrating various packages to the new name.

We would like to rename our NPM package from https://www.npmjs.com/package/go-ipfs to "kubo",
but it is already taken: https://www.npmjs.com/package/kubo

Here comes the ask 🙏

Since it is rather small demo package, and was not updated for the past 5 years, and got renamed to "werkit" at some point(?),
would it be possible for you to donate kubo NPM package to IPFS project (https://ipfs.tech/, https://github.com/ipfs) by adding me as a new Owner? 🙏

kind ping, @queerviolet

@queerviolet you can transfer ownership easily via https://docs.npmjs.com/transferring-a-package-from-a-user-account-to-another-user-account

@queerviolet hi, kind ping :) I'm https://www.npmjs.com/~lidel – if you add me as owner that should be enough to unblock us :) 🙏

@queerviolet you can add lidel as owner with:

npm owner add lidel kubo

Alternatively, you can use the npmjs.com UI linked earlier.

@queerviolet just catching up here - are you still willing to transfer ownership of the kubo repo on npm?

hey, sorry for the very long delay! i've added lidel as a maintainer.
