The sarama kafka library has changed ownership and is no longer receiving updates

Earlier this year, the sarama kafka library changed ownership from Shopify/sarama to IBM/sarama: https://github.com/IBM/sarama/issues/2461

Would it be possible to upgrade this library to depend on IBM/sarama?

This came up because another library depends on this one and would like to upgrade: https://github.com/openconfig/gnmic/issues/347
