Description
Hi,
I wanted to ask the if maintainers have plans to support the newly proposed QUERY http method in the near future, as it has been awaited for more than a decade. We plan to use the method in our APIs going forward, albeit most use will be internal. I see requests is matured and in feature freeze at this time, I also understand that we can send arbitrary methods by supplying the name in the "request" method, tho it has a caveat regarding redirections.
I started some work on a fork. However before opening a PR, I wanted to make sure if you are open to contributions in this direction, as I have seen multiple recent rejections on the subject. (I have to add, rightfully so)
