Oh, he dropped the review after I asked his opinion about the build system
change in comment 9 which I took as an indication that he agreed with me
putting off the package (He isn't the assignee any more, and he isn't in the CC
list either) :)

That is what I meant - when a new build system comes, the entire package has to
be effectively redone, and nest, as you'll see from the spec, isn't the
simplest of packages. Totally a maintainers burden, yes, but I'm going to be
the maintainer ;)

I think the list is somewhere on a google spreadsheet. I don't have the link
handy at the moment. 

Coprs are also a good mechanism for packages that build and are functional but
are not packaged well enough to pass a formal review yet (outer ring in
fedora.next and all that), which is exactly what the nest package is at the
moment.

Anyway, I'm happy to continue the review if someone takes it up. I'll update
the spec with Raphael's comments later this week. I already updated the copr
package to 2.10 which came out recently. I need to work on the python3 bit etc.

Cheers!
Ankur
