ACK :-)

Basic functionality is ok, depending on the working definition of
"basic", but my feeling is that it's a minefield for intermediate and
advanced use of the IDE features due to a big wave of breaking changes
introduced by various dependencies in the period right between this bug
was filed, continuing until shortly before our soft freeze.  Active
upstream issues that affect Elpy in bullseye have been multiplying, and
at this point I'm starting to find it strange that this (#975535) is the
only reported bug.

The primary maintainer has injured hands and will be AFK for a while as
he recovers.  The second maintainer has a new job and no time, but my
hope is the upstream community will band together in time to get Elpy
into a good state in time for bullseye.  I will contribute what I can,
but worry that it won't be enough.

Coordination is occurring here:
