Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

This package is currently blocking the removal of the python2
Qscintilla2 bindings for Qt5 (python-pyqt5.qsci).  It is the last
rdepend.

Since the package is currently not able to support python3 nor does it
work with the current mercurial, I took a look to see what it would take
to update it.  It does not seem feasible for a drive by upgrade.
Currently both the plugins would have to be dropped due to lack of
python3-nautilus and python3-caja and the newest upstream source FTBFS
when built with python3 due to string/bytes issues.

Given that the current maintainer has files an RFA for this package and
no one has stepped up, I think it's better just to remove it.  If a new
maintainer appears and upstream better supports python3, then it can be
reintroduced.
