That's the python-netcdf4 package in the Build-Depends: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/netcdf4-python It provides the modern Python bindings for libnetcdf, unlike the old python-netcdf package from python-scientific which does not support numpy >= 1.9. For some discussion about these see #778417 & #821221. > I also fail to see where Ross gave you permission to work and ask for sponsorhip on this package > (this isn't an issue, but it wouldn't be the first time that somebody steals a package > to another person, so I prefer a written sentence where permission to do it is granted). The annoying bot that changes ITPs into RFPs after a certain time without progress is most likely at fault. See the history of #777315. Anyone is free to take over an RFP, so I don't think explicit consent from Ross is required for cf-python.
