A backport probably isn't needed, but I strongly urge deprecation. The library has had a few failed attempts at pick up, but ultimately those who wanted to do that just moved to pymemcached, and anyone else sensible will do the same. There is no need or want to maintain python-memcached when a strong opensource alternative exists that is backed by pintrest. I reached out to some of the people who were looking at picking up maintaining it, but they never got any response back from the current project owner, and going through the hassle of getting it from them via pypi admins is a waste of time when pymemcached is the clear winner in the pure python memcached library space.
python-memcached is dead for all intents and purposes, and with no release since Dec 16, 2017 is in a bad place for us to not deprecate. As such, this is bad for us, and looks bad for Django that we still recommend this library as the first option when using memcached.
