I saw your bug comment, but had forgotten about it when processing removals several hours later. In the future, please add a moreinfo tag to the rm bug if it should not be actioned. In cases like this where I inadvertently removed something that should have been retained, I'm happy to give it a quick review in New. When you have your python3 port ready, please ping me in #debian-ftp and I'll have a look. Please don't let this case dampen your enthusiasm for working on Debian. More generally, New is being processed as fast as it can given available volunteer time. Any delays are not reflective of a lack of value placed on people's contributions. Scott K
