[10:17] <guruprasad> cjwatson, do you have a few minutes to talk about your recent merge proposals?
[11:00] <cjwatson> guruprasad: Sure (I also just replied to your MP comments)
[11:02] <guruprasad> cjwatson, thanks! I haven't received the emails for those comments yet and that is why I missed them.
[11:02] <guruprasad> Do you need our help to merge and release the launchpadlib changes?
[11:03] <guruprasad> Since you are in the https://launchpad.net/~storm team, I guess you can merge and release changes without our help?
[11:03] <guruprasad> *release the Storm changes
[11:15] <cjwatson> guruprasad: launchpadlib will need your help, yes.  I think I can indeed do storm.
[11:17] <cjwatson> guruprasad: None of this is super-urgent of course, I just felt like deleting some code :-)
[11:17] <guruprasad> You are a maintainer of launchpadlib on PyPI. So is it enough if I just get the MP merged?
[11:17] <guruprasad> Then you can do a release on PyPI?
[11:18] <guruprasad> Re: the urgency, it is easier to do it now than later :)
[11:18] <cjwatson> guruprasad: Technically yes I suppose, but I'd also need to land a release commit to update the date in NEWS.md.  It might be better if you could take care of the release.
[11:18] <cjwatson> guruprasad: I can add you on PyPI, not sure why I hadn't done that already
[11:20] <cjwatson> guruprasad: Remind me of your PyPI username?  Is it lgp171188?
[11:20] <guruprasad> Let me check and confirm. I haven't used my PyPI account in forever.
[11:21] <cjwatson> Ah, it'll probably want you to set up 2FA then ...
[11:28] <guruprasad> cjwatson, done. My username is lgp171188 indeed. Alternatively, I can take help from Jürgen or William to do the release.
[11:28] <cjwatson> guruprasad: sent you an invitation
[11:29] <guruprasad> Got it and accepted the invite.
[11:29] <guruprasad> Thanks!
[11:32] <cjwatson> If you want to officially bump to 3.8 or whatever then it might be worth doing that as part of a 2.0.0 release.
[11:33] <cjwatson> Presumably that would allow somebody with time/energy to work on things like type annotations.
