Related to NixOS#262907 (Django3 removal from nixpkgs). This package already required an unreasonable amount of maintenance regularly for a such small leaf-package. It has a few highly outdated dependencies (e.g. flask 1, jinja2 2.11, sqlalchemy 1.3). After at least each Python package-set update one had to fix up a lot of dependencies to fix the package itself, so it was only useful on stable branches. And having so much outdated software in a security-sensitive piece of software seems questionable. Finally, globin and I won't be available for maintaining this now that Mayflower is migrating to another solution (and we'll do that as well) and I'd expect this to bitrot extremely quick if we both bail out.
