Description
Let's double check what's still needed this repository and what's important to improve
- Can we remove legacy, is it helpful to keep this? It's all in git history anyway.
- Write docs on how to develop and use
srccode e.g. should every spec change tests? - Move the CI to GH Actions.
- Update or remove Timeline https://github.com/prometheus/OpenMetrics/blob/main/TIMELINE.MD
- Update maintainers.
- Fix python tests after move (e.g. failing here)
