  Description     : a tool for decoding register values

bitfield is a small tool for decoding register values and inspecting 
individual fields of a register.

bitfield is intended for use by programmers working on low-level software.

Users provide a configuration for each register which defines the 
individual fields. bitfield then decodes provided hex values using the 
configuration to print a readable interpretation.

I'm aware of the name conflict with #864358, though that bug hasn't seen
any activity in over a year. An alternative name would be "bitfield-decode".

I am currently working on tidying up the Python packaging upstream as 
well as implementing a bunch of new features, so the Debian packaging 
might wait until things settle a bit.

I am not a DD or DM, so would need a sponsor.
