I am looking for external adoption of the python-expiringdict package.
I'm assuming that Debian Python Modules Team (DPMT) is a reasonable
candidate if that group is interested.

The package description is:
 expiringdict is a Python caching library, providing an ordered
 dictionary with auto-expiring values for caching purposes. Expiration
 happens on any access, object is locked during cleanup from expired
 values.  ExpiringDict stores at most a maximum number of elements -
 the oldest will be deleted.

python3-expiringdict is used by python3-dnsq and python3-pyaff4, but I'm
no longer using this immediately myself, so i'm not a good candidate for
solo maintenance.

I've updated the package source to use gbp, to use DEP-14, and to be
close to lintian-clean (only testsuite-autopkgtest-missing remains),
and i've placed it on salsa to make it easier for adoption by the DPMT
in case that's useful.  I've also updated the packaging to the most
recent upstream release, which appears to be 1.1.4.

Regards,
