`github-label-sync` upstream repository appears to be gone? Future for this action?

[GabrielHogan]

Hey @EndBug!

Thanks for your work on this action! I've been using it for quite a while, and with some recent team changes I ran into the same error reported in #302.

While looking into potentially opening a PR to help address the issue, I hit a dead end trying to locate the upstream dependency repository. It looks like Financial-Times/github-label-sync (https://github.com/Financial-Times/github-label-sync) has either been deleted or made private, and the npm package is now marked as deprecated (https://www.npmjs.com/package/github-label-sync).

I was mostly curious about your thoughts on the future of this action / package? Is the dependency effectively unmaintained at this point, or is there another upstream/dependency that I'm just totally missing?

What are your thoughts on replacing or forking the upstream dependency so development on this action can continue moving forward?

Thanks!

Wow! That's really unfortunate, I don't get why somebody would just make their library private once it's been in the open. Thanks for bringing this to my attention ;)

Anyway, I was able to update an old fork of mine by comparing it to the latest published version on npm. I've already migrated this repo to use the new package. You can find it here:

• https://github.com/EndBug/github-label-sync
• https://www.npmjs.com/package/@endbug/github-label-sync

For what concerns #302 we unfortunately don't have the issue from the upstream repo anymore, but feel free to open a new one in my fork ✌🏻

Hey! That was fast! I was pretty surprised to see it just gone as well.

Are you open to contributions to the new package? I'm happy to try and resolve the issue myself!

Thanks again!
