* Paul Gevers: " Bug#1032569: src:pywebdav: fails to migrate to testing for too long: autopkgtest regression" (Thu, 9 Mar 2023 09:10:48 +0100):
Hi Paul, pywebdav currently suffers from missing adaption to Python 3.11. As you know it is not appropriate to force the decision of our quite late move to Python 3.11 on upstreams or package maintainers. So what I expect to happen is that pywebdav won't be part of bookworm (i.e. removed from testing), but stay in unstable (waiting for upstream maintainers to catch up with migration to Python 3.11). I would have assumed that this is already the case with https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1029283 so basically I don't get what this immediately closed bug is meant for. Anyway, if the above is the intended course of action I am all in.
