2) Looking for packages whose names don't start with 'python', but
where the current version installs something into
/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ and/or into /usr/bin/ with a shebang
containing 'python2', the following packages appear to need rebuilding
for python3:
Hi maintainers,
Please consider rebuilding your packages listed below for python3.
If you are no longer interested in being a maintainer for these (or all
of your) Cygwin packages, please let us know, so we can update our
records and stop bothering you about them!

Hi Jari,
In the absence of any response, I have assumed these are all orphaned.
If that's not what you wanted to happen, please let me know.
From a brief survey, only offlineimap and urlgrabber (which should
probably be named python-urlgrabber, since it contains a python module)
seem to be actively maintained enough to support python3.
So I will probably remove the others, and consider if it's possible and
worthwhile to update those.
(I also noted that breezy appears to be the python3 replacement for bzr
and getmail6 appears to be the python3 replacement for getmail.)
I'm happy to adopt both of these. I'll give Jari a little while to
reclaim them first, not least as I'm not going to have the time to
spend on packaging these for at least a week or so, but if Jari (or
anyone else) doesn't claim them first, I'll send an ITA once I've
checked I can get the packaging to work.
Thanks. I appreciate that.
