That just meant that I tagged the bug with the "moreinfo" tag [1] (I use that to keep track of RFS requests that I've already dealt with, and that still require additional work from the sponsoree before an upload is ok). >> Please take a closer look at the above URL.

For a list of issues to tackle, I suggest starting with what lintian flags against your package. Either refer to the automated mentors.d.n check on your package's page, or run lintian manually on your .changes file (to check both source and binary packages at the same time), e.g. $ lintian -IE --pedantic foo_version_arch.changes (If there's a discrepancy between what lintian outputs on your local machine to what mentors.d.n tells you, it usually means your copy of lintian is outdated.) The following command will display more information about, e.g. the lintian tag "ancient-standards-version", so you'll know how to fix it: $ lintian-info -t ancient-standards-version Repeat as often as necessary until you've fixed all those errors and warnings (preferably as many of the info and pedantic tags as well), or ask specific questions about tags that you don't understand (but consider using a search engine first to find out more information). >> Would you consider maintaining this package within the Debian Python >> Modules Team?
