Thanks for the info.

It's not private, these mails were set to "python-msrest at packages.debian.org" which forwards to "python-modules-team at lists.alioth.debian.org". This mail thread can be found at https://alioth-lists.debian.net/pipermail/python-modules-team/2019-October/059368.html.

I have posted a summary at https://github.com/python-trio/trio/issues/1#issuecomment-544304785 and asked for an upstream opinion.

I notice that python-msrest has already been included in ubuntu eoan, so version 0.11.0 is going to be around for a while in at least one major Linux distro whatever we do now in Debian.
