    cvise
    pytest-pylint
    python-cssselect2
    python-tinycss2
    rpmlint

    python-cssselect2 and python-tinycss2 are key packages, but doesn't
    have a bug reported. Might be worth it to make the maintainers aware.

    Several of these had been fixed by the time I looked at it. I removed build-dependencies from pytest-pylint, python-proton-core,
    python-pyzipper, python-tatsu, python-tatsu-lts, and python-tinycss. I
    also filed RC bugs on eccodes-python and rpmlint which I've set to block
    this bug. Once those bugs are fixed, we should be able to remove this
    package.

    Looks like only rpmlint is left. I'm going to try to update it to latest upstream to close that gap, but rpmlint is orphaned so I don't think we
    should wait for it (but I'll fix rpmlint too anyways).

    So I filed a bug with the ftp-masters (#1101522) to remove
    python-pytest-flake8 already.
