[Python-apps-team] Bug#953610: spambayes: should this package be removed?

[Sandro Tosi]

Package: spambayes
Severity: serious

Hello,
i believe spambayes should be removed from debian:

* python2-only and upstream shows no progress in porting to python3
* low popcon
* no reverse dependencies
* blocks python2 removal effort in Debian.

if i dont hear back within a week with a good reason to keep this packaeg in
Debian, i'll file for its removal.

Regards,
Sandro
