Hi Pieter,

I took a look at the beets package, up for sponsorship in the Python
team:

* repo: upstream and pristine-tar branches are stale. Try 'gbp push'.
* control: most version requirements in both build-depends and the
  dependencies of the binary package are ancient (as in, already met
  in oldstable), please remove the outdated constraints.
* control: missing field 'Built-Using: ${sphinxdoc:Built-Using}' on
  the documentation pkg (please ignore lintian if it complains about
  adding such a field on an architecture-independent package, known
  bug).
* control: the pkg is missing a hard dependency on python3-pil for the
  unconditional imports in beets/util/artresizer.py (currently only a
  suggest).


Once the above comments have been addressed, simply re-add the
package to the IRC channel topic and/or ping me by e-mail.
