Reading the bug log of your request to upgrade this package has a hint
from Tue, 13 Feb 2024 [1] that some rust dependencies need updates
(thanks for the work on this Jérémy!  BTW, I merged you 41.0.7-5 changes
into master branch and closed bug #1046569 manualy)

The discussion about Policy change started two weeks later[2].  I might
miss the point in the connection you are drawing here.

Your request to speak up[3] was not heard.  I would have prefered to
read constructive arguments instead of silent leaving the team (in the
sense of not informing the team mailing list about the leave).

> > You all made this mess.  Please clean it up.

I think the good intentions[4] in your sentences here are that you
really care about this important package and you fear that it is left
alone.  So thanks for the pointer.

What I did before your mail was sent:

python-cryptography (42.0.5-1) UNRELEASED; urgency=medium

  * Team upload.
  * New upstream version
    Closes: #1059308 (CVE-2023-50782)
    Closes: #1064778 (CVE-2024-26130)
    Closes: #1063771, #1018159
  * Reorder sequence of d/control fields by cme (routine-update)
  * watch file standard 4 (routine-update)
  * Enable building twice in a row
    Closes: #1046569

Meanwhile I marked bugs #1059308 and #1064778 pending (they could be
even closed but its good to have some record inside changelog if CVEs
are involved[5])  I also closed bug #1018159 which remained open for
no good reason and closed #1046569 manually since it was not mentioned
in changelog of latest upload.

Jérémy did:

python-cryptography (41.0.7-5) unstable; urgency=medium

  * AMAU, Closes: #1064979

  [ Andreas Tille ]
  * Enable building twice in a row

Since Tristan Seligmann went MIA the package was uploaded by:

Comment: Debian Janitor did not really uploaded the package.  The
Uploader of the subsequent upload probably accidentaly forgot to merge
the changelog entries.  The Upload
   Sandro Tosi <morph@debian.org>  Wed, 28 Feb 2024 12:23:58 -0500
is simply orphaning the package.  BTW, "orphaning" is defined by setting
Debian QA team as maintainer.  The package is not really orphaned but has
DPT as maintainer.  I understand your worries about this package but
looking at these entries I do not see in how far the current status
looks that bad.

Pyopenssl is lagging slightly behind upstream.  Someone could care for
#1047548 but I personally ignore such bugs until other work on the
package needs to be done.  I'm optimistic that someone will step up
as Uploader.

Kind regards
    Andreas.
