I only briefly read the bug report: https://bugs.debian.org/804315 It sounds like an email on the lines of "this is what we are working on; this is what we intend to call it" might have been a good idea when they started. So it doesn't come as a complete surprise when it happens. Isn't that one of the reasons we have ITPs? Also I assume there is a good reason why they felt they had to start a new project as opposed to contributing changes to the existing project? Sure maybe a rewrite in Python was a good thing, I can't comment on this aspect. -- Brian May <b...@debian.org>
