Hi,
I reviewed the python-hupper package, up for sponsorship in the
Python team. It needs a bit of work:

* copyright: according to the CONTRIBUTORS.txt file, the docs are
  subject to a non-DFSG-compliant license (commercial use is
  disallowed):
  """
  Code committed within the ``docs/`` subdirectory of the hupper source
  control repository and "docstrings" which appear in the documentation
  generated by running "make" within this directory are licensed under the
  Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 United States
  License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/us/).
  """

  You probably want to repack the orig tarball with a +dfsg suffix,
  removing the affected directory. Excluding files is best automated
  via d/copyright [1], and the repack suffix added via the watch file.
  Once everything is in place, uscan will handle the repack for you.
  Updating to the ""new"" (= repacked) release works the same way as
  importing an actual new upstream release (i.e. by running 'gbp
  import-orig').


* control: standards-version is still outdated.

* control: another uploader removed (why? was this on request?) and
  yourself added, without mentioning any of that in the changelog.
  Please document all changes.

* control: missing dependency for the watchdog module, unconditional
  imports at:
  src/hupper/watchdog.py:5:from watchdog.events import FileSystemEventHandler
  src/hupper/watchdog.py:6:from watchdog.observers import Observer

* control: package is missing a dependency on python3-pytest, causing
  the upstream testsuite to be skipped on build.


* lintian hits, easily fixed:
  W: python3-hupper: no-manual-page [usr/bin/hupper3]
  I: python3-hupper: synopsis-is-a-sentence "Integrated process monitor for developing servers. (Python 3)"

  ...as well as some that probably could use an override:
  X: python3-hupper: application-in-library-section python [usr/bin/hupper3]
  X: python3-hupper: library-package-name-for-application [usr/bin/hupper3]


* tests: please add a non-trivial autopkgtest; it probably won't take
  more effort than setting "Testsuite: autopkgtest-pkg-pybuild" in
  d/control.


Please ping me once you have an updated package ready.
