Welcome! Yes, indeed it is.

Correct. General matters are to be discussed in these mailing lists.

As the ticket says, we currently have the funny situation that there is a high
demand for updated python packages but nobody that wants to do this or can
spare the time. I myself do quite a number of packages myself but Thrift
supports about 20+ target languages - most of which come with an associated
library package. So any help on this is highly appreciated!
So where are we with that ticket and where do we want to go?
As shortly noted in the ticket, what we want is some step by step process that
one can follow to publish the pypi package even though one never did that
before nor has any intention to follow overly complex procedures (as these tend
to break over time).
What we have already is an pull request with an updated pypi publishing
procedere, but since I do not use Python myself I can't say much about the
status of it.
https://github.com/apache/thrift/pull/2555
As a first milestone it would be perfect if we could publish the latest package
in _some_ way (even manually) in order to satisfy the demand for it.

Learning for sure is a by-product of working in the FOSS community.
Therefore, people around are usually keen to help on specific questions,
especially if those are related to the Apache Thrift project.
What we cannot provide is countless hours of help to guide contributors
through the basics of a certain field. There are much better places for
this, and in this particular case I'm sure the Python community would be
of a much greater help.
Have fun,

I'm new to packaging a project to pypi but i would like to help and learn
during the process.
Are there any prerequisites I need to do/learn before addressing this issue?
I would like to have some support if I hit some technical snags if it comes to
a point where I'm unable solve on my own.
Thanks for reading this!
