The Python team will no longer maintain the following packages.  They
all need porting to Python 3.7 and newer, and have some obstacle
in doing so.  They have only few revdeps which we do not maintain.

dev-python/pythondialog
dev-python/ramlfications
dev-python/repoze-sphinx-autointerface
dev-python/robotframework
dev-python/sleekxmpp
dev-python/sphinxcontrib-issuetracker
dev-python/toro
dev-python/txaio
dev-python/txAMQP
dev-python/txgithub
dev-python/txrequests


pythondialog is used by net-analyzer/gvm-tools (jonas.licht@)
and net-vpn/protonvpn-cli (ilmostro7@).  It is missing tests.

ramlfications are used by dev-util/buildbot (dolsen@ indicate he'll
revive it).  The tests fail already and it's on 2016 snapshot.
It seems pretty much dead.

repoze-sphinx-autointerface is used by dev-python/txtorcon (just taken
by dolsen@).  It is missing tests.

robotframework is needed only for dev-python/robotbackgroundlogger
(zmedico@).  It is missing tests.

sleekxmpp is used by net-im/err (pinkbyte@) and net-im/spectrum2
(conikost@, andrey_utkin@).  It is broken with py3.7 and upstream
has archived the repository.

sphinxcontrib-issuetracker is used only by dev-python/pydocstyle
(python@, monsieurp@, andrewammerlaan@).  Either the tests or the whole
package is broken with Sphinx 3 (and possibly older).

toro is needed only by dev-python/thriftpy (sci@).  Some of the tests
are failing (already) and no upstream activity since 2016.

txaio is only used by dev-util/buildbot (dolsen@) and sci-libs/vtk
(sci@).  All tests fail with a test suite error.

txAMQP by dev-python/carbon (patrick@, grobian@).  Tests require
a system instance of rabbitmq server.

txgithub is the only package that I managed to test up to Python 3.8
(though either test coverage or API coverage is near zero).  It is used
by dev-util/buildbot (dolsen@).

txrequests is used by dev-util/buildbot (dolsen@).  It is missing tests.
