Control: retitle 1111573 RFS: python-lap/0.5.12-1 [ITP] -- Linear Assignment Problem solver (LAPJV/LAPMOD)
Dear debian-python team,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "python-lap", which is required to update beets music tagger which I intend to adopt in #1088977.
I've improved the package with the help of Aryan in #1111566. (I'm not sure if this RFS should have been a retitle of that ITP bug, but let me know if I should close one or the other and rename the remaining bug.)
Since I was granted access to the python team on salsa I transferred the package to python-team/packages.
Please let me know what I should improve or which steps I can take to have this package uploaded to the archives, which will unblock #1088977 for the orphaned beets package which needs an update.

Hi, if you're in #debian-python channel on OFTC, please add this rfs to the channel topic by typing "!rfs python-lap" in the channel. Also please check your patches. I feel it's missing something from the DEP-3 format. Check the sample DEP-3 compliant headers in [1]. I think you should add fields for Forwarded and Last-Update in both of your patch files. Remove the moreinfo tag once that's done. I hope you find a sponsor soon. [1] https://dep-team.pages.debian.net/deps/dep3/
