Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I request an adopter for the python-xml[1] package.

The package description is:
 The Python/XML distribution contains the basic tools required for
 processing XML data using the Python programming language, assembled
 into one easy-to-install package.  The distribution includes parsers
 and standard interfaces such as SAX and DOM, along with various other
 useful modules.
 .
 The package currently contains:
 .
  * XML parsers: Pyexpat (Jack Jansen), xmlproc (Lars Marius
    Garshol), sgmlop (Fredrik Lundh).
  * SAX interface (Lars Marius Garshol)
  * minidom DOM implementation (Paul Prescod, others)
  * 4DOM and 4XPath from Fourthought (Uche Ogbuji, Mike Olson)
  * Schema implementations: TREX (James Tauber)
  * Various utility modules and functions (various people)
  * Documentation and example programs (various people)

Reverse dependencies include fonttools, gdeskcal, gdesklets, imgseek,
memaid-pyqt, python-davlib, qm, revelation, rubrica, zope. 

I'm no longer using python-xml for my daily development, and as a
consequence, I feel I'm not doing as good a job as I should on the
python-xml package. I'm therefore considering passing maintenance to
someone else, or co-maintaining the package. 

The packaging itself is pretty straightforward, but

  * upstream is not very active

  * some long lasting bugs[2] are fixed in upstream cvs, but the fix might
  break other packages depending on the bug, so I'm a bit reluctant to
  add a patch which could lead to debian shipping a pyxml-0.8.4 package
  which would behave differently from other distributions

  * xbel is part of the debian package, but is essentially unmaintained
  by upstream (not a problem for the DTD, but one for xbel-utils
  scripts, which I don't use and have been the only one to change
  in upstream CVS during the past years). Additionnally, xbel
  has been moved to it's own separate project[3], so maybe it
  makes sense to move it to its own source package. I'm not sure
  how this should be done, debian-wise.
