It looks slick! I'd be happy to comaintain this one, and to keep an
eye on the lisp--but not the python--dependencies. If this
disqualifies me I'll leave it as finishing up with preparing
lisp dependencies are ready for the initial packaging.
Are these (from elpy-pkg.el and elpy.el) really all of the external
lisp deps?
1. company "0.9.2" src:company-mode needs to be updated in experimental
(I could do this with a team upload)
2. find-file-in-project "3.3" filed an ITP, initial packaging is in git
3. highlight-indentation "0.5.0" done
4. pyvenv "1.3" done
5. yasnippet "0.8.0" done
6. s "1.11.0" src:s-el done in experimental
(needed to be elpafied)
Because of 1 and 6, I think elpa-elpy would also need to be uploaded
to experimental until stretch is released. Assuming this
sooner-rather-than-later option, could you please file a bug against
src:company and ping me if the someone doesn't claim it? By the way,
what kind of a timeline do you have in mind?
Cheers,
Nicholas
