[Python-apps-team] Bug#940982: planet-venus: should this package be removed?

[Sandro Tosi]

Package: planet-venus
Severity: serious

Hello,
as part of https://wiki.debian.org/Python/2Removal i noticed planet-venus, and i
believe we should remove it from Debian:

- RC buggy
- pretty low pop-con
- python2-only, also upstream
- https://github.com/rubys/venus/issues/37 showed some possible work to port it
  to py3k, but that effort never materialized
- last maintainer upload in 2014

if i dont hear a good reason to keep this package in Debian within a week, i
will file for its removal.

Regards,
Sandro
