Library status

http-kit's author (@shenfeng) unfortunately hasn't had much time to maintain http-kit recently. In an attempt to help out I'll be doing issue triage, accepting minor/obvious PRs, etc. My own time's pretty limited so contributors welcome: looking for pull requests, feedback/ideas, and help dealing with GitHub issues, etc. Please contact me if you'd be interested in lending a hand. Thank you!
