📦 Package Details

Maintainer: me (also: @ja-pa for python-packaging, python-pluggy, python-typing-extensions; @commodo for python3)
(You can find this by checking the history of the package Makefile.)

Description:

I haven't had time to maintain these packages in a while, and saying I am a maintainer doesn't help these packages be maintained. Better to remove myself than continue standing in the way of "progress".

I will keep this PR open for at least four weeks, in case someone would like to take over maintenance for some of these packages.

✅ Formalities

  • I have reviewed the CONTRIBUTING.md file for detailed contributing guidelines.

If your PR contains a patch:

  • It can be applied using git am
  • It has been refreshed to avoid offsets, fuzzes, etc., using
    make package/<your-package>/refresh V=s
  • It is structured in a way that it is potentially upstreamable
    (e.g., subject line, commit description, etc.)
    We must try to upstream patches to reduce maintenance burden.

Sorry to hear that. Can any of those packages be dropped perhaps?

Maybe we can wait for others to comment before suggesting dropping packages?

Actually I'm not sure anyone else has a more complete view of the Python packaging system so it would be irresponsible of me to not add: Most of the Python packages are either core build system packages or dependencies of other Python packages/applications, so maybe only 2-3 are completely optional. This is just my opinion though, I'm sure others will disagree.
