As the current maintainer of python-zigpy, on which at least 4 of those
unpackaged items depend (+ probably HomeAssistant itself?): Would you be
willing to adopt python-zigpy too? I've stalled a bit with keeping it up
to date, mostly due to upstream seeming to not always take copyright
very seriously [1]. That issue has been fixed, and as far as I know the
current release (0.64.3) should be DFSG-compliant. However, as I'm not
actively using ZigPy myself anymore, I've put updates on the
backburner. A similar (imho unfixed) issue [2] can be seen in another
package from the list, zigpy-znp.

Learning of your HomeAssistant efforts, it seems sensible to hand
python-zigpy off to your new team, if you'd agree. Apart from upstream's
aforementioned issue, the package is very straightforward. The git repo
[3] is up to date.

Let me know what you think.
