Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-python@lists.debian.org

I intend to adopt the 'platformio' package.
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/platformio
https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/platformio

This package was previously included in the Debian repositories years
ago, but was removed due to being outdated and non-functional.
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1080046

I was unable to find an "O" or "RFA" bug for this package.

My goals:
- Upgrade PlatformIO to the latest upstream version, v6.1.18
- Align GBP config with dual-sourced pypi tarball + git tag workflow
- Document upstream-upgrade process for easier maintenance
- Align packaging with Debian Policy / Standards
- Address missing dependencies (ajsonrpc)
- Submit platformio packages to Debian FTP

What I have done:
- Contacted the debian-python mailing list
- Secured a Debian Mentor, Otto Kekäläinen (o...@debian.org)
- Submitted MRs to the PlatformIO Salsa repository
  https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/platformio/-/merge_requests
  pending review

blocker 1050212
Justification: PlatformIO 6.x has introduced a dependency on ajsonrpc
