   Description     : Fetch BibTeX from DOI, arXiv ID, journal URL or article title

A command-line utility and library to fetch BibTeX entries from DOIs, arXiv ids,
  IDs and also export to .bib files.

  - This package is a dependency of quickbib (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1121420).
    There is no similar package in debian repositories.
  - I plan to maintain the package myself, but I would be glad if the
    PythonTeam sponsors it. I need a sponsor.

Hi, please rename the package to "python-doi2bib3". "python3-doi2bib3" is the binary packaged installed by python-doi2bib3.

Also you should consider separating the debian packaging and the non debianized upstream source. You can host the debian packaging on Debian Salsa. While this isn't compulsory, it makes it a lot easier for your potential sponsors to make any changes directly to the debian packaging.
