[Debian-pan-maintainers] Updated package list with packages open for adoption (Was: morph's abandoned packages (list))

[Andreas Tille]

Hi,

I'd like to update the list with names if someone has annouced to take
over.  For packages with no takers I checked rdepends and kept their
Uploaders in CC (please seek for your email in case you do not understand
why you are in CC).

Emmanuel Arias in CC due to some private mail mentioning some packages

    Last upstream release was tagged in Sept 2019
    The code contains some references to lib2to3 which triggers
      DeprecationWarning: lib2to3 package is deprecated and may not be able to parse Python 3.10+
    This might be one reason for bug #1058419 since it could spoil the output
    Do we need this package?

              while hoping this will be picked up)

     + debacle at debian.org

  #1065042 O: mpl-sphinx-theme -- documentation for the mpl-sphinx-theme Python library
   --> tille at debian.org (rdepends in Debian Med team)
     Updating to latest upstream depends from pydata-sphinx-theme (see at bottom)
     which in turn needs a new dependency which I will not package.  Thus help
     is welcome

  #1065220 O: mpmath -- library for arbitrary-precision floating-point arithmetic
    --> dtorrance at piedmont.edu

? #1065224 O: mysql-connector-python -- pure Python implementation of MySQL Client/Server protocol
    ??> Emmanuel Arias <eamanu at yaerobi.com> - I did not fully understood
        whether you want to take this.
    In the light of the discussion of bug #923347 I wonder whether we need
    this package.  Its not part of any stable release listed at tracker.d.o

  #1065198 O: networkx -- tool to create, manipulate and study complex networks

                      Nicholas D Steeves <sten at debian.org>)
  Hint: This package is lagging quite behind upstream
  Latest upstream needs https://github.com/miurahr/multivolume
  However:
          This repository has been archived by the owner on Jul 17, 2022. It is now read-only.
  It might make sense to either 
     ask py7zr authors whether this will be needed in future releass or
     pick latest py7zr version that does not need multivolume

? #1065222 O: pychm -- Python binding for CHMLIB
    rdepends: archmage (Mikhail Gusarov <dottedmag at debian.org>)
              recoll (Kartik Mistry <kartik at debian.org>)

No idea whether we should care if there is no dependency from other
packages which I did not checked.

Missing in Julians list (possibly because taken before list was created)

  #1065229 O: python-pygraphviz -- Python interface to the Graphviz graph layout and visualization package (doc)
    --> alexandre.detiste at gmail.com

  pydata-sphinx-theme
   No actual orphan bug for pydata-sphinx-theme but it also has no Uploader
   and contains the usual pattern in d/changelog.  It should be updated for
   mpl-sphinx-theme but latest upstream needs a new dependency.  See Salsa CI
     https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/pydata-sphinx-theme/-/pipelines/658082   


General remark: I'd prefer if we would at least have to packages per
maintainer.  If you find my name in any Uploaders field and you are
interested in this package (no matter whether it is in this list or not)
please simply add your name and move on with doing on that package what
you feel necessary to do.  If something might break we can fix it later.

Kind regards
    Andreas.
