Bug#964736: ITP: public-inbox -- Mailing list archiver

[Uwe Kleine-König]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Uwe Kleine-König 

* Package name: public-inbox
  Version : 1.5.0
  Upstream Author : Eric Wong  and others
* URL : https://www.public-inbox.org/
* License : AGPL-3.0
  Programming Lang: Perl
  Description : versatile mailing (list) archiver

This software powers https://lore.kernel.org/ and also
http://www.public-inbox.org/ itself. It's the server-side counter part
for b4 that is already packaged in Debian.

Currently I evaluate it to provide an archive for several work related
mailing lists.

Depending on the outcome of this evaluation I might or might not actually
package public-inbox. But as deploying is easy using debian packages I
will create at least simple packaging which should at a minimum give a
good start for someone to pick up from me.

Best regards
Uwe

Re: Bug#962574: ITP: dephell -- project management for Python

[Nicholas D Steeves]

Hi Scott, devel, and Python team,

Thank you for taking care of tomlkit so quickly!  I wish I had more time
and energy to make faster progress with DepHell.  Today I discovered it
appears to require packaging 14 dephell-.* modules, listed here:

  https://pypi.org/search/?q=dephell

so it's going to be a while (months) before I complete this ITP (which
blocks my solution for converting pyproject.toml to setup.py for fissix
and thus Bowler).  If anyone would like to help out with the dephell-.*
dependencies to speed this process along, please go ahead, and let me
know if you'd like a comaintainer/second Uploader.  Failing that, I'll
get to it as soon as I can :-)

Best,
Nicholas
