I'd like to raise attention to some concerns about the python-dateutil package status. The package is not actively maintained by upstream [1] and I got an early warning about it fails to build with Python 3.15 [2]. A user also tried to report a security vulnerability to upstream, but they got no response [3]. Yet the package seems to be required by, ehm, a few others [4]. Shall we encourage other dependent packages to find alternatives and move away from python-dateutil? I didn't try to fix the Python 3.15 FTB (yet), but I don't want to try to maintain the package in a working state by patching it downstream.
Yes, we should try getting rid of it. I suggest a proposal to deprecate it might be a good idea.
