I reviewed python-aws-requests-auth 0.4.3-2 as checked into impish. This
shouldn't be considered a full audit but rather a quick gauge of
maintainability.

requests with additional functionality to retrieve AWS credentials via
boto.

python-aws-requests-auth is not currently actively maintained upstream
(https://github.com/DavidMuller/aws-requests-
auth/pull/52#issuecomment-583591776), the latest PR from Feb 2021 has
not been responded to. That said, the code base is small and neatly
documented, heavily drawing from the existing AWS example code for it's
functionality.

Security team ACK for promoting python-aws-requests-auth to main.
