For these ones, I've seen your e-mail sent to Ludovic. I'd prefer these
patches to be removed from patchwork, and the original submitter asked
to rework them using the python-package infrastructure, and also to
submit them in a form that is not RFC.

I don't remember. To be asked to the submitter?

Last time I looked, I believe this patch was almost ready. And Arnaud
Aujon is still around.

Yeah, I believe python-pyqt is quite important, so it would be good to
keep it around. But those patches need some work. Maybe we need someone
interested in adopting those patches?

I know Ryan is still working on these.

Agreed.
