Good question. I admit I'm actually a bit pissed since the former
maintainer introduced several packages into the team and than
simply left the team. I tried my best to get the packages in a
decent state but in this case failed obviously. I've just checked
popcon of "vote" which is not really amazing.

Thanks for the hint. I admit I try to concentrate on other Python3
migration issues. In case some more problems come up with tifffile I'll
reconsider RM.
Kind regards
