The following PRs to remove mock usage are still open:
- https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/gtimelog/pull-request/3
- https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-debianbts/pull-request/1
- https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/pytest/pull-request/70
Current FTBFS:

and python-tackerclient.
I bumped each of the open PRs. We will wait no longer than a week to
merge these PRs with provenpackager privileges, check that nothing else
was missed (besides the preexisting FTBFS packages) and then finally (!)
retire python-mock. If anyone has any questions or objections, please
let us know.
Best,

In accordance with FESCo's Inactive Packager Policy[1], packagers that have been identified
as inactive have a ticket in the find-inactive-packagers repo[2]. One week after the final
release, packagers who remain inactive will be removed from the packager group. (Note that
pagure.io is one of the systems checked for activity, so commenting on your ticket that you're
still around will prevent you from showing up in the second round.)
If you have suggestions for improvement, look for the open feature issues[3] and file an issue
in the find-inactive-packagers repo[4] if it's not there already.
For the curious, here are the stats from today's run:
### Found 1459 users in the packager group. ###
### Found 606 users with no builds in Koji over the last year. ###
### Found 305 users with no activity in pagure/src.fp.org over the last year. ###
### Found 282 users which didn't post any message in Fedora Discussion over the last year. ###
### Found 254 users which also show no activity in Bodhi over the last year. ###
### Found 234 users which also show no activity in mailing lists over the last year. ###
### Found 167 users which also show no activity in Bugzilla over the last year. ###

In accordance with FESCo policy[1], the following provenpackagers will
be submitted for removal in two weeks based on a lack of Koji builds
submitted in the last six months. If you received this directly, you
can reply off-list to indicate you should still be in the
provenpackager group.
Note that removal from this group is not a "punishment" or a lack of
appreciation for the work you have done. The intent of the process is
to ensure contributors with distro-wide package privileges are still
active and responsive. This process is done regularly at the branch
point in each release.
