Hello FTP team,

I packaged pyrcb2 when trying to create a debian packaging for a
Python IRC bot. I packaged it under the Debian Python Team as
maintainer for making it easier for others to contribute, but
that never happened.

Considering:

- The package did not have any upstream release in 3 years [1].
- Other librares are available and more mature to create IRC bots in
  Debian [2].
- The package currently has no known rdepends (used the reverse-depends
  command, could not connect to the ftp-masters mirror).
- The popcon score of the package is 4 [3].
- The package has 2 serious bugs [4] (FTBFS and Python 3.12 migration)
  that the Python team should probably not waste any efforts to fix
  given this package was probably only used by me.

I think we should RM this package from the archive.

I only asked for unstable, but maybe we also should remove it from
stable so that it does not stays a burden for the duration of a stable
release's life.

Please let me know if you need anything else.

Thanks.

Agathe.
