[Python-modules-team] Bug#842156: fedmsg is broken and horribly out of date (0.9.3 < 0.17.2)

[Neal Gompa]

Source: fedmsg
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

fedmsg has been broken for quite a long time and has been removed from testing
due to broken tests that lead to it FTBFS.

However, upstream has made several releases that should address these issues.

Also, notably, fedmsg now is Python 3 compatible, so when it is upgraded to
the latest version (0.17.2 at the time of this writing), fedmsg and related
packages can offer Python 3 variants.

Please update to the latest version and try to get this into stretch.

Thanks in advance.
