Hi, I joined this mailing list a couple of weeks ago very specifically
in the hopes of helping with packaging for Noto and Roboto. Please let
me know if there's anything that can be done better (reach out to me
personally if that's more appropriate / this is too much noise for the
whole list).

My understanding of your concern is admittedly low but I can say that
all the dependencies of the Noto tools can be pulled down either
directly from Github or from the Python package index. Any further
improvements with packaging I'd be happy to help with.

Thanks,

James
