Noted, thanks!  I've pushed my adoption changes to the python-editables
master branch in Salsa -
https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/python-editables

* New maintainer (Closes: #1093730)
* Update Standards-Version to 4.7.2
* Convert d/watch to version 5 RFC822 format

Local testing I did:
* uscan verified watch file works
* gbp buildpackage built successfully
* lintian passed with no errors

Could someone please sponsor this upload? Do let me know if I've missed
anything, as this is my first package adoption. Thank you!

Best,
Mahangu
