That's my impression too.

I've done quite a few but it's in the tens, not the hundreds. However, winter is
coming and it's a nice activity when you're down with the flu.
I've noticed that the with_python3_other variable isn't defined in the file
shipped by python3-rpm-macros, it would help transition to set that variable as in the
original plan. The edits I've done use that variable as a conditional. Or
shouldn't they?
I'm interesting in having more python3.6 packages in EPEL7 since newer releases of
Mailman3 requires Python >= 3.5, so I'm currently stuck by some missing
dependencies. So I'm willing to help move this forward.
So I would like to get this done in November after F29 is out the
door. I am guessing a set of changes will be needed to be tested
before hand.
