I am not sure of the best contact for upstream. Presumable the package
maintainer has good contacts with upstream (Matt Palmer is listed as the
package maintainer?). Talking to upstream, like it or not, is part of
the job of maintaining Debian packages. It makes it easier on upstream
only having to deal with one voice, the maintainer, who knows what
direction they want to take the package.

Also should point out there is a strong push at the moment to move
Debian to Python 3.x, as Python 2.7 is no longer being developed
anymore.

After the release of stretch I believe the plan is not to accept any new
Python 2 packages. Eventually this is going to become an RC bug as a
result of phasing out Python 2.7.
