Fritz,

The review branch is fine.  I apologise for not noticing it before.

1.  The package currently fails to build because it depends on python3-
distutils.  Distutils has been deprecated upstream and is no longer part of 
Python beginning with 3.12.  It was recently removed from unstable.

You can find a little more discussion about this on:

https://lists.debian.org/debian-python/2024/07/msg00001.html

I don’t know if upstream already has a transition plan away from distutils.  
It some cases it is easy and in other cases it is hard.

2.  Because you have to touch the code anyway to fix 1, I would recommend you 
update the standards version to 4.7.0.

3.  I see that you are a Debian Maintainer and that you have been working on 
this package with Abe Beckert for a number of years.  It looks like it is in 
very good shape.  Would you be interested in being granted rights to upload 
the qutebrowser package yourself?
