[task #16100] Submission of GNU Debbugs

[Mike Frysinger]

Follow-up Comment #2, task #16100 (project administration):

> This isn't an official GNU package, its name shouldn't use "GNU".

i'm fine making it a GNU project (whatever that means).  it's not clear what
that entails.

> Then, you list "MIT" as the license for some of your dependencies. This is
ambiguous, please check www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html.

if you want to know the exact text, feel free to visit the project page i
linked.  it has an explicit "License" link on the side.  doesn't seem super
relevant to this project itself since it's compatible w/LGPL, and it's not a
direct dependency.  pytest runs the unittests only, and they could be invoked
a different way.

> Also, LGPLv3 is written as a set of additional permissions on top of GPLv3;
your tarball includes a copy of LGPLv3, but it should also include a copy of
the GPLv3.

done

> At last, copyrightable files like tests/data/get_status-1.xml have no valid
copyright and license notices. (By the way, who is actually the copyright
holder?   

you tell me.  most are e-mails scraped from https://debbugs.gnu.org.  but i
could easily replace it with stub data and avoid the issue.

> The VCS logs are missing

not sure what you're talking about.  what VCS logs for what files ?

> and you are not listed in fencepost.gnu.org:/gd/gnuorg/copylight.list as
having assigned copyright for anything like Debbugs).

how can one assign copyright to a project that doesn't yet exist ?  you're the
first person to see this code that i authored from scratch.
