https://pypi.org/project/kerberos/ contains known vulns and is abandoned

Hello,

From what I've seen https://pypi.org/project/kerberos/ contains known vulns[1] and is abandoned[2].

Given that situation, is there something else we can use for the requirements of requests-kerberos?

There are a few things to address here

• This library never called checkPassword so that CVE doesn't apply here
• 5dfe4b0 changed the dep so it's no longer using kerberos/pykerberos
• requests-gssapi was originally designed as a replacement to this library with a new dependency as well
