I don't think it's a send-email flag, you need to type out the actual

header and the ChangeLog.

I'm pretty sure it still needs some basic GObject stuff.

The first one is harmless afaik.  The second means it's trying to write

Look at the license headers in the code.  I picked a file at random and
it said "or any later version".  For python in particular, setup.py
