Public bug reported:
[Availability]
The package is already universe for quite a while and build/works fine so far.
It is for example already used for
https://lists.canonical.com/mailman3/postorius/lists/
OTOH it is a utility that can/could be used for much more than just the
mailman3 stack.
This source builds python2 and python3 binaries (being compatible) but
we will only pull in the python3 package as part of the switch to
mailman3.
[Rationale]
This is part of the MIR activity for all dependencies of mailman3
The "main" MIR of it is at bug 1775427:
Mailman (2) has only python2 support, but we strive for python3,
therefore Mailman3 which has python3 support should be promoted to main.
This is to detect mail bounces and old mailman2 had that but it was pearl/py2
and this is py3.
I'm not sure how much of the old code still remains.
But I have seen backports from flufl.* to the mailman2 code - so in fact this
is the same code but evolved (a lot)
[Security]
No known CVEs found.
[Quality assurance]
As part of the mailman3 stacks as of now (Disco) this installs fine and works
fine.
On itself it is useful to (many) other dependencies and does not need a post
install configuration on its own.
The package does not ask debconf questions.
Zero known bugs in Ubuntu and Debian for this component.
There are (slow) regular upstream releases and Debian is packaging them
as well as fixes in between.
No exotic HW involved.
The package utilizes build time self tests as well as some (rather
trivial) smoke test as autopkgtest.
d/watch is set up and ok.
No Lintian warning except fairly recent newer Standards version.
The package does not rely on demoted or obsolete packages.
[UI standards]
This is a low level library without (a lot) of user visible strings - no
translations (needed).
No End-user applications that needs a standard conformant desktop file.
[Dependencies]
Some dependencies are not in main, but we drive MIR for all related packages
that are not in main at the same time.
Please check the list of bugs from the main Mailman3 MIR in bug 1775427 in bug
1775427 to get an overview.
[Standards compliance]
The package meets the FHS and Debian Policy standards.
The packaging itself is very straight forward and uses dh_* as much as possible
- the d/rules fits on one screen.
[Maintenance]
The Server team will subscribe for the package for maintenance, but in
general it seems low on updates and currently is a sync from Debian.
[Background]
The package description explains the general purpose and context of the package
well.
