Argh.  Thanks a lot for opening my eyes.

Good question.  I admit I'm actually a bit pissed since the former
maintainer introduced several packages into the team and than
simply left the team.  I tried my best to get the packages in a
decent state but in this case failed obviously.  I've just checked
popcon of "vote" which is not really amazing.

Thanks for the hint.  I admit I try to concentrate on other Python3
migration issues.  In case some more problems come up with tifffile I'll
reconsider RM.

Kind regards
