[Yaroslav, please seek for your name in the text below.  Its about
 missing source-only uploads for new packages - but there are build
 issues I can not solve quickly]

Hi Ben,

Thanks.  This would be great.

As I said: Bug reports are more helpful since these do not end up in the
middle of some mailbox.  I get lots of mails and can not process them
all in one batch.  Aging mails tend to be forgotten at some point in
time.

In any case your contribution was helpful.

It is actually helpful since my automatic method is not yet ready.

Its actually strange that this does not migrate since the last upload
should have been source-only.  But I asked around whether somebody wants
to add SIMDE support for other architectures.  So this might last some
time.

Arg, fixed in Git since some weeks but forgot to upload. :-(
Done now.

This package does not build.  It has issues with hdf5 / python3.8.
Yaroslav, could you please take over?

Hmmm, same as for dnapi here. :-(

Source-only upload.

No idea why this went wrong - just doing another source upload

Source-only upload done and granted upload permissions to
Sebastien Jodogne

Source-only upload done.

As you realised there are other issues preventing testing migration.
But at least I did a source-upload right now.

Hmmmm, that's heavily outdated and needs more work than just a
source-only upload.  We are aware of this and there is work in progress
(slowly).

Thanks a lot and thank you for your contributions
