Is it official policy for new/updated/converted Python applications maintained by PAPT? At the moment each of those pages says that the Python teams have chosen the relevant packaging system and that the other packaging system is forbidden, which is confusing at best. If there is consensus that gbp pq + DEP 14 is recommended for Python packages and the older git-dpm setup is deprecated, then anyone with a wiki account can fix those pages, but I for one don't want to make those edits until someone who can speak for the team specifically says it. (I'd like to convert tap.py to gbp pq as soon as it isn't considered to be hostile to do so.) Thanks, smcv
