#1127633 python-pyaudio: Invalid Vcs-* fields: gitweb no longer functional

Dear Debian python-pyaudio package maintainer,

As shown at https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/python-pyaudio ,
the package you maintain in Debian, python-pyaudio, has a Vcs-* repository
hosted on https://people.csail.mit.edu ( https://people.csail.mit.edu/hubert/git/pyaudio.git ).
However, visiting it returns the gitweb perl script, and `git clone` also
fails. I assume that the hosted server has made adjustments to disable script
execution in some way.

Personally I don't believe hosting gitweb-based repo on university personal
space is a robost solution. Please consider fixing it. The recommended hosting location
would be https://salsa.debian.org/debian/ when possible. If you have to do so,
please consider converting it to a dumb repo [1] that exposes all raw git
repository contents so that the Vcs access could work again.

Best Regards,
Boyuan Yang
