Hi,

The following packages will no longer be maintained by the Python team:

dev-python/autobahn
dev-python/cbor
dev-python/girder-client
dev-python/kazoo
dev-python/libcloud
dev-python/logbook

All of them are stuck on py3.6 and have 1-2 revdeps, and aren't very
useful to the general Python community.  All of them have some problems
that prevent us from testing them, and generally would qualify for last
rites if they were not blocked by the revdeps.

autobahn is only used by vpython (sci@), vtk (sci@) and buildbot (last
rited).  It is multiple versions behind upstream.

cbor is needed for autobahn and ros.  It hasn't been touched since 2016.
The test suite fails, and is pretty unreadable.  It looks like a new
serialization format that didn't work out.

girder-client is only sed by yt (sci-astronomy@).  The ebuild doesn't
declare tests.

kazoo has no real revdeps (only zake that are 'testing utilities' for
kazoo).  Testing requires a running Zookeeper instance.

libcloud is used by salt only (chutzpah@).  It has all tests restricted
because of 'known test failures'.  Someone needs to put an effort to
make the tests pass or at least filter out these that don't pass and run
the rest.

logbook is used only by pyfa and nikola.  I've tried bumping it
but a lot of tests still fail with the newest version and then one seems
to hang.

Expect more as I proceed with py3.7 testing.
