piuparts is unrelated to python-gdal, and hence not relevant to the gdal
transition.

Important packages like piuparts deserve more consideration in changes
like the py2removal, but they are not sacred either. Its maintainer is
responsible for not holding back progress. If the maintainer is unable,
progress should not be blocked by it.

Sorry, I don't have the patience to wait for that. As I've stated, the
packages in question don't warrant that consideration in my opinion.

python-networkx is a key package due to its python3 rdeps, not the
python2 ones. That python2 ones are not that important.

I think you're all making a much bigger fuss about this than you should.

Again sorry, I also don't have the energy to spend on packages like
these. I already spend it on the GIS packages. I don't have any to spare
for non-important packages like these. That's the responsibility of
their respective maintainers. RC bugs have proven to be good motivators
to get maintainers to act, I don't think you should consider that bullying.

Kind Regards,
