Any reason for the parseable parts to not be in an established human
readable/editable format? e.g. the config ini style format, or TOML?
To crib from the OP example with something configparser understands:
[PREAMBLE]
Timestamp: 2023-09-21 15:07:42+00:00
Author: Arthur Zamarin <arthur...@gentoo.org>
Justification: Very broken, no idea why packaged, need to drop ASAP.
The project is done with supporting this package.
Bugs: 667687, 667689
Removal Date: 2023-10-21
Packages: dev-lang/python
The format is well documented already and simple to check for
validity, so any GLEP would just need to cover correct keys/values.
Just a thought.
