That isn't why he is doing this. I don't think he is looking to get
15,000 packages added to Fedora. He is just making sure that if you
need that poorly written python software... it is still in an rpm
somewhere. The bigger thing he is working on is the tool to do this
and probably eventually for other mega-repos.. the outcome is a side
effect which may be useful to people or not.. yay if it is.. no skin
off his nose if it isn't.
I think a more worthwhile effort would be to use the PyPi package
rankings
(http://pypi-ranking.info/alltime) and identify any packages in say the top
500 that don't currently have Fedora packages or aren't included in the
standard library.
