rospogrigio/localtuya

Checklist

• I understand that this form should only be used for repositories that needs to be removed from HACS
• I understand that a bug is not reason enough to have a repository removed
• The repository is currently shipped as a default repository in HACS
• I have tried to get the authors attention to the reason for removal

Why should this be removed?

There is a fork of this integration that fixed a number of issues with this and it works very smoothy (https://github.com/xZetsubou/hass-localtuya.git). I now have both HACS repositories and given their installation files overlap, I am concerned about corruption of the distributions.

I see multiple issues and messages in github that indicate the author has not been active but I am not familiar with the whole process and roles and whether the base repository can be taken over by a new team.
