The second-to-last comment from the submitter is a list of *six*
libraries that would have had to be unbundled (each going through its
own review request) before the package could have been approved.

In a world where bundling was allowed, the package would likely have
been approved on initial review; the only significant issues found in
review were bundling-related. There are a couple of trivial issues
noted in #c7, but those would have been literally 10-second fixes.

(FWIW if unbundling wasn't required, even if the original submitter
hadn't given up, I would've been happy to package tt-rss. The pile of
unbundling required is the sole reason I won't do it now.)
