> If you want to have it in RDO, you can just build the tarball
yourself and publish it somewhere. Or better, make the project publish correct tarballs on
LP or pypi.
On that latter point ('make the project...'), any advice on how to make that
happen?
Ask them nicely? :)
Or just do the former, you don't even need to publish it somewhere, just
provide reproducible steps how to generate it:
