zc.lockfile:

[Summary]
Fairly simple python package to support IPC locks under Python3

+1 from MIR team for promotion to main.

[Duplication]
OK:
- There are similar packages in main but this is a fairly trivial python
  module so no issue with some level of duplication.

[Dependencies]
OK:
- All covered on this MIR bug.

[Embedded sources and static linking]
OK:
- no embedded source present
- no static linking

[Security]
OK:
- no history of CVE's (http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=zc.lockfile)
- does not run a daemon as root
- does not use webkit1,2
- does not use lib*v8 directly
- does not parse data formats
- does not open a port
- does not process arbitrary web content
- does not use centralized online accounts
- does not integrate arbitrary javascript into the desktop
- does not deal with system authentication (eg, pam), etc)

[Common blockers]
OK:
- does not FTBFS currently
- does have a test suite that runs as autopkgtest
- The package has a team bug subscriber
- no translation present, but none needed for this case
- no new python2 dependency
- Python package that is using dh_python
- test suite present and executed as part of package build

[Packaging red flags]
OK:
- Ubuntu does not carry a delta
- symbols tracking not applicable for this kind of code.
- d/watch is present and looks ok
- Upstream update history is good
- Relatively new package so no update history
- the current release is packaged.
- promoting this does not seem to cause issues for MOTUs that so far
  maintained the package
- no massive Lintian warnings
- d/rules is rather clean
- Does not have Built-Using

[Upstream red flags]
OK:
- no Errors/warnings during the build
- no incautious use of malloc/sprintf (as far as I can check it)
- no use of sudo, gksu, pkexec, or LD_LIBRARY_PATH
- no use of user nobody
- no use of setuid
- no important open bugs (crashers, etc) in Debian or Ubuntu or Upstream
- no dependency on webkit, qtwebkit, seed or libgoa-*
- not part of the UI for extra checks
