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.

    Version          : 0.5.12-1

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.

Thanks Aryan. Both done and pushed to salsa & mentors.
