Hi,

(The CC list seemed enthusiastic, I'm just replying to the list.)

Just to clarify, you're talking about dropping the python3-gpgme binary 
package only? Or the whole pygpgme source package?

I'm happy to change the maintainer field in some future upload, yes. 
However, upstream isn't very active and there is an RC bug (tests fail) 
which I have not yet been able to solve alone, which will cause removal 
from testing in October. I'd appreciate any help with that.

(There's also a fork at https://github.com/rshk/pygpgme which seems more 
up to date, but unfortunately uses the same project name and is mostly a 
documentation effort.)

Thanks,
