Hi Louis-Philippe,

Both Jelmer and I are also willing to take it on.  I wrote to the
Python list in response to Jelmer (before I saw your ITA):

  I've just taken a look at python-levenshtein, as I remember the name
  now: it might make more sense for me to take it as it depends on
  rapidfuzz and rapidfuzz-cpp, which I've just packaged and are sitting
  in NEW.  But if you want to take it, please feel free to do so!  (Once
  rapidfuzz makes it into unstable, a lot of debian/rules could probably
  also be simplified.)

So happy whoever wants to take it; we just won't be able to do much
until rapidfuzz, rapidfuzz-cpp and taskflow make it to unstable.

I do suggest that we keep it within the DPT, though.

Best wishes,

   Julian
