Review for Package: rich

[Summary]
MIR team ACK under the constraint to resolve the below listed
required TODOs and as much as possible having a look at the
recommended TODOs.
This does need a security review, so I'll assign ubuntu-security after the
required TODOs are addresed.
List of specific binary packages to be promoted to main: python3-rich

Notes:
Required TODOs:
1. MIR dependencies, all under the process
 1a. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/markdown-it-py/+bug/2003568
 1b. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mdurl/+bug/2002818
 1c. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-typing-extensions/+bug/2002821

2. Autopackage testing. The package has a test suite that used to run as autopkg until
   kinetic (see https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/rich). At version 13.0.0-1 the
   autopkgtest are run via autopkgtest-pkg-pybuild (see debian/changelog). I guess that
   from a package perspective it is ok, the test are supposed to run but for some reason
   they don't. Maybe because of this bug : https://bugs.launchpad.net/auto-package-testing/+bug/2003981
   Could you please look further into it and confirm it is indeed a autodep8 problem and
   rich problem ?

Recommended TODOs:
3. The current release 13.3.1 is not package. It was released a couple of day ago, so
   it should be a matter of days for debian to bump to the new version and then
   ubuntu can pull from there.

- The package should get a team bug subscriber before being promoted

[Duplication]
Package is required in main as a new dependency of netplan.

[Dependencies]
OK:
- no -dev/-debug/-doc packages that need exclusion
- No dependencies in main that are only superficially tested requiring
  more tests now.

Problems:
- 3 dependenices to MIR, all under MIR process
  1. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/markdown-it-py/+bug/2003568
  2. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mdurl/+bug/2002818
  3. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-typing-extensions/+bug/2002821

[Embedded sources and static linking]
OK:
- no embedded source present
- no static linking
- does not have unexpected Built-Using entries
- not a go package, no extra constraints to consider in that regard
- not a rust package, no extra constraints to consider in that regard
- Does not include vendored code

Problems: None

[Security]
OK:
- history of CVEs does not look concerning
- does not run a daemon as root
- does not use webkit1,2
- does not use lib*v8 directly
- does not open a port/socket
- 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)
- does not deal with security attestation (secure boot, tpm, signatures)
- does not deal with cryptography (en-/decryption, certificates, signing, ...)

Problems:
- does parse data formats (files [images, video, audio,
  xml, json, asn.1], network packets, structures, ...) from
  an untrusted source.

[Common blockers]
OK:
- does not FTBFS currently
- does have a test suite that runs at build time
  - test suite fails will fail the build upon error.
- This does not need special HW for build or test
- no new python2 dependency
- Python package, but using dh_python

Problems:
- does have a non-trivial test suite that runs as autopkgtest?

[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 (if needed, e.g. non-native)
- Upstream update history is good
- Debian/Ubuntu update history is good
- 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
- It is not on the lto-disabled list

Problems:
- current upstream version v13.3.1 as of Jan 28, packaged released 13.2.0

[Upstream red flags]
OK:
- no Errors/warnings during the build
- no incautious use of malloc/sprintf (the language has no direct MM)
- no use of sudo, gksu, pkexec, or LD_LIBRARY_PATH (usage is OK inside
  tests)
- no use of user nobody
- no use of setuid
- no important open bugs (crashers, etc) in Debian or Ubuntu
- no dependency on webkit, qtwebkit, seed or libgoa-*
- not part of the UI for extra checks
- no translation present, but none needed for this case (user visible)?

Problems: None
