Bug#1144194: RFS: python-petl/1.7.23-1 [ITA] -- Python Extract Transform and Load Tables of Data

(sorry for the double emails I did a reply not a reply all earlier)

Hey Andrey,

Yes I am a real human :)

It's not so much as a prompt as it is a whole system now:
-Started out as a "How can I help the Debian project?" question
-This led to the WNPP list
-Asked Claude to find "low hanging fruit" packages
-Created a Debian 13 VM specifically for building/packaging (devscripts,
lintian, etc)
-Gave Claude SSH access to the VM to pull packages, build them with sbuild
into a sid/unstable chroot like buildds does, run
lintian/debhelper-compat/autopackagetest, send well formated emails to the
bugs/python team lists (try to keep things in the style and tone of what's
acceptable)
-Anything requiring debsign was manually ran by me after confirming what
was built/going to be uploaded to salsa

Claude was intrumental in navigating the Debian ecosystem: setting up the
testing environment, keyring, salsa access, where/who to contact and what
to send onto the lists.

If you'd like, I can publish the toolchain/process for review.

Thanks,
Dustin
