Here is one I don't understand.
Today (9th December '22) pyfakefs 4.6.3 was migrated [1] into testing. But 
the latest stable release at upstream is 5.0.0 release two months ago [2].


So why does a Debian package maintainer invest time and resources into 
packaging an out dated version of a package?


The version that migrated to testing on 9 December was just a bug fix, see 
[3].  Version 4.6.3 was initially packaged on 12 September [4].

Joining the team to maintain pydrive

[Sebastien Bacher]

Hey there,

I would like to add pydrive [1]  to Debian (I'm currently maintaining it 
for Ubuntu as a opt-depends of deja-dup to be able to back-up on 
gdrive). I think it makes sense for it to be under the python team umbrella.
I might occasionally contribute to updates or fixes on desktop 
components maintained by the team.


My salsa login is 'seb128'

I've read 
https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/tools/python-modules/blob/master/policy.rst 
and agree to comply to the team rules.


Cheers,
Sebastien Bacher
