Bug#745342: Status of twine in Debian
[ As this is in large parts about python-releases I'm CCing the relevant
ITP bug report. ]
Hi Zygmunt
Sorry, I haven't been able to catch you on IRC. Just ping me, I'm
gaudenz on oftc.

You still don't mention why it was rejected. In bug #745347 there was
some discussion about the package name. Was that the reason? What does
hold you from renaming it to python-sphinx-releases or even better first
discussing this on the debian-python list as proposed in the bug.
Looking at what's currently in the archive there does not seem to be a
universal naming scheme for sphinx extensions. The following are
possible names for releases with some precedent:
- python-sphinx-releases
- python-sphinxcontrib-releases
- python-sphinxcontrib.releases

I found the releases repository, but was unable to find the one for
twine. Do you have an URL?

That's fine, if the packages are in a source control repository there is
not much point in uploading to mentors.
