Hey,

hyperkitty, which is part of mailman3 suite depends on django-browserid
which depends on PyBrowserID, so for starts I wanted to package these two.

I realized yesterday's evening after submitting my ITP that Persona was
about to shutdown (in Nov.). Sadly, this was not clearly mentioned neither
on https://login.persona.org/ nor on PyBrowserID Github's page.

That pushes me backwards. I'll suggest upstream to drop browserid
dependency, as it's quite "easy" to do.

I close the bug since it seems not relevant to package this library anymore.

Thanks for your email, and sorry for the noise.
