[GAP Forum] [GAP] Searching for maintainer(s) for ParGAP, else GAP 4.9 will not support MPI

[Markus Pfeiffer]

Dear all,

since we did not receive any messages from volunteers or strong
objections, we will merge the pull request at

  https://github.com/gap-system/gap/pull/1487

on Friday, thus removing MPI support from the GAP kernel.

We will also discuss the removal of ParGAP from the GAP distribution
from 4.9 onwards at the coming GAP days in Siegen
(http://gapdays.de/gapdays2017-fall/), as it will not work anymore.

Cheers,
Markus
