Review for Source Package: glycin

[Summary]

The package is in good shape. 
One imprortant bug open in debian  
(https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1099233) 
but seems to be resolved now.
Owning team is already working on autopapkgtest and rust craft vendoring.

Even though check-mir does not report it, it seems glycin-loaders depends on 
libjxl:
$ apt info glycin-loaders
...
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.39), libcairo2 (>= 1.4.10), libgcc-s1 (>= 4.2), 
libglib2.0-0t64 (>= 2.16.0), 
libheif1 (>= 1.13.0), libjxl0.11 (>= 0.7.0), librsvg2-2 (>= 2.52.5)
...

jpeg-xl, source package for libjxl is not yet in main but under MIR review : 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/jpeg-xl/+bug/2070882

MIR team ACK under the constraint to resolve the below listed
required TODOs and as much as possible having a look at the
recommended TODOs.

This does need a security review, the security-team has already this under their
radar. Therefore, I'll assign  bug reporter to address the feedback of review. 
After the TODOs are resolved, security-team shall be assgined if need be.

List of specific binary packages to be promoted to main: glycin-loaders
Specific binary packages built, but NOT to be promoted to main: <None> 

Notes:
Required TODOs:
1. Need to add autopackage tests
2. Vendor rust dependencies
3. Depends on jpeg-xl : 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/jpeg-xl/+bug/2070882

- The package already has a team bug subscriber

[Rationale, Duplication and Ownership]
There is no other package in main providing the same functionality.
A team is committed to own long term maintenance of this package.
The rationale given in the report seems valid and useful for Ubuntu

[Dependencies]
OK:
- no -dev/-debug/-doc packages that need exclusion
- No dependencies in main that are only superficially tested requiring
  more tests now.

Problems:
- other Dependencies to MIR due to this

[Embedded sources and static linking]
OK:
- no static linking
- does not have unexpected Built-Using entries

Problems:
- Rust package does not have all dependencies vendored

[Security]
OK:
TODO: - history of CVEs does not look concerning
- does not run a daemon as root
- does not use webkit1,2
- does not use lib*v8 directly
- does not expose any external endpoint (port/socket/... or similar)
- does not process arbitrary web content
- does not use centralized online accounts
- does not integrate arbitrary javascript into the desktop
- does not deal with system authentication (eg, pam), etc)
- does not deal with security attestation (secure boot, tpm, signatures)
- does not deal with cryptography (en-/decryption, certificates,
  signing, ...)
- this makes appropriate (for its exposure) use of established risk
  mitigation features (dropping permissions, using temporary environments,
  restricted users/groups, seccomp, systemd isolation features,
  apparmor, ...)

Problems:
- does parse data formats (files [images, video, audio,
  xml, json, asn.1], network packets, structures, ...) from
  an untrusted source.

[Common blockers]
OK:
- does not FTBFS currently
- does have a test suite that runs at build time
  - test suite fails will fail the build upon error.
- This does not need special HW for build or test
- no new python2 dependency

Problems:
- does not have a non-trivial test suite that runs as autopkgtest

[Packaging red flags]
OK:
- Ubuntu does not carry a delta
- symbols tracking not applicable for this kind of code.
- debian/watch is present and looks ok (if needed, e.g. non-native)
- Upstream update history is good
- Debian/Ubuntu update history is good
- the current release is packaged
- promoting this does not seem to cause issues for MOTUs that so far
  maintained the package
- no massive Lintian warnings
- debian/rules is rather clean
- It is not on the lto-disabled list

Problems: None

[Upstream red flags]
OK:
- no incautious use of malloc/sprintf (the language has no direct MM)
- no use of sudo, gksu, pkexec, or LD_LIBRARY_PATH (usage is OK inside
  tests)
- no use of user nobody
- no use of setuid / setgid
- no important open bugs (crashers, etc) in Debian or Ubuntu
- no dependency on webkit, qtwebkit or libseed
- not part of the UI for extra checks
- no translation present, but none needed for this case (user visible)?

Problems:
- several warnings during the build
