Looks like great work so far.

I wonder what would be the best way to help with conversion for devs
with a few hours to contribute?

 - Where does one go for peer review and how many eyes should be on
   related commits?

 - Should package "owners" be contacted in all cases?

 - Are there any conversion sprints already or in the future?

Best,



Sebastian

Write docs ;). We need more complete, cleaner docs.

I guess #gentoo-python would be a good place. Look for me or floppym
especially.

Well, I assumed that packages in Python herd can be converted without
contacting other maintainers. For other packages, I opened a bug.

No. To be honest, I dislike unnecessary rush. The migration is a good
moment to find bugs in Python ebuilds and fix them. Well, definitely
better than 'review Python-related code' bugs :P.
