Thanks for this hard work! Offhand, I don't see any issues. However, there may be a bigger problem; in this Mastodon thread many folks are bringing together a lot of evidence that multiple Python packages uploaded by this maintainer are improperly licensed. I'm not sure where to take this next; perhaps it needs to come up in Discourse. While this PR should be merged when it's ready, we may need a more systemic response as well.

1807 rebuilds per target across 47 commits is not too bad.

FYI: The license of pynose has been adapted to LGPL-2: mdmintz/pynose@c3aa742.

[mweinelt]

Yeah, maybe. But the lost trust needs to be restored, before I'll consider allowing it back in. Right now #325935 looks more interesting to me.

[mightyiam]

Thank you, @mweinelt

[dschrempf]

Yes, I also want to thank you @mweinelt. This was a fast and professional cleansing.

[collares]

One more "thank you @mweinelt" for the prompt response. The upstream response to the licensing issue is simply atrocious.
