  Description     : Parallel and Heterogeneous Task Programming System for C++

 Taskflow helps you quickly write parallel and heterogeneous task
 programs with high performance and simultaneous high productivity. It
 is faster, more expressive, with fewer lines of code, and easier for
 drop-in integration than many of existing task programming libraries.
 It is provided as a collecion of C++ header files, using C++17.

This package is a dependency of rapidfuzz, which is a C++ and Python
library for rapid string distance calculations.  In turn, rapidfuzz is
a dependency of newer versions of other Python packages.

It is also a great package in itself, providing a library that can be
used to great effect, as described in several papers and conference
presentations.

I don't think it fits within the Debian Python Team's remit, yet it is
needed by them.  So my proposal is to have myself as maintainer for
now but for the Debian Python Team to be listed as an Uploader.
