You are writing this as if I knew that he had something ready. That is
*not* the case. Sorry, I don't spend my life on IRC reading channel
topics. This is the first time ever that I see a case of an RFS in a
channel topic, and frankly, this really isn't the proper way IMO. Also,
I've checked the VCS (as advertized on the VCS fields of the package),
and saw nothing. How could I guess that the sources moved? (don't reply
"IRC channel topic" again please...)
To stay on the IRC topic, you may have (not) notice that I did say that
I couldn't write in the advertized VCS of babel. Nobody noticed... And
that was before the upload, IIRC. See what I mean? IRC is a very bad way
to keep track of things.
Besides this, pointing fingers *twice* at me on a public list serves no
purpose. Can't you just move on?

What are you trying to achieve with this sentence? Piss me off? Well
done, you've succeeded. Do something more productive, this attitude
doesn't help.
Mind you, I spent hours on this update, and did quite some work. It's
not a perfect work I admit, but it did what it should have: have
python-babel and python3-babel available for others to use, on time for
my purpose (which is to have OpenStack ready for its release). So I say
it again: the -doc missing ${sphinxdoc:Depends} is a tiny small issue
which is fixable easily.
You are BTW welcome to do the work if you wish (and I will be happy to
sponsor it if you ask properly in this list, or if you highlight my nick
on IRC, in which case I will notice, but please, don't just use the
channel's topic...).
