We have some rdepends:

$ apt rdepends python3-mdp
python3-mdp
Reverse Depends:
  Recommends: pan-machine-learning
  Recommends: science-machine-learning
  Enhances: python3-sklearn
  Recommends: python3-pymca5
  Recommends: science-machine-learning

See above.  A finding that came unexpected after adding autopkgtest
is that 32bit architectures can't cope with 'float128', 'complex256'
data types.  Since I wanted to avoid further trouble in hard freeze
I decided to restrict architectures to 64bit for the moment.
 
Kind regards
Andreas.

Hi Andreas,

Thank you very much for offering help.  I think Tiziano would not mind,
so please feel very welcome to a) for the sake of b) or any other
goodness you would like to bring ;)

Note though that MDP is pretty much inactive project since a few years
back.  It seems it is still used by some and somewhat maintained
upstream, so might indeed be worthwhile keeping afloat in Debian but I
would not cry if it got RMed.

After/if packaging moves to a new repo on salsa, we can submit a
PR to add an empty out debian/ and add stub debian/README to that
upstream repo to signal that packaging moved to salsa.

Cheers,

Hi Tiziano and Yaroslav,

I'd volunteer to

   a) take over package into Debian Python Team (including
  using Salsa Git and Maintainer address of DPT) and
   b) apply the patch and upload the package

I'm not interested in just doing b) and hope you will find the time to
care for the package if you are not happy with a).  Please note that
there was an NMU which is not taken over in your repository at Github.

Kind regards
Andreas.
