Requesting pre-approval to upload python-xattr to fix #609447 and #592860

[Federico Ceratto <federico.ceratto@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I'm hereby requesting approval from the release team to upload a new
version of python-xattr, meant to fix  #609447 and #592860

A dependency to python-setuptools has been added to fix #609447,
while #592860 required a small patch to the code to prevent a crash
when listing extended attributes:
