https://github.com/django-haystack/django-haystack contains support for the Whoosh backend however

• Drop support for whoosh django-haystack/django-haystack#1929

I would like to resolve the uncertainty around #559 and add continuous integration tests via #579.

• Add a GitHub Action to run tox #579

Can one of you please review and land these two PRs and help me get a release to https://pypi.org/project/Whoosh ?
If there is no interest, can you please make me a maintainer of this repo and add me to the list of PyPI maintainers?
