The test failure only happened with Python 3.10. We use 3.11 by
default, and there's not really any reason to change it, so I don't
think we need to keep that patch around.
It's time again, I guess :>
Main motivation is to stop being pinged about software that I maintained
for work now that I'm about to switch jobs. There's no point in pinging
me to review/test updates or to debug issues in e.g. the Atlassian stack
or on mailman since I use neither personally.
But there's also a bunch of other stuff that I stopped using personally. While
at it I realized that I'm still maintainer of a few tests & modules related to
packages I stopped maintaining in the past already.
Hyperkitty's tests fail with 8.x, because it tries and fails to import
elastic_transport. There are 7.17.10 and 7.17.11 releases, but for
unknown reasons they're not available on PyPI.

At least since e161990d40 ("mailman: remove docutils input"), we
rely on sphinx being a Python library package for our Python version,
so that it propagates a compatible docutils. Taking sphinx from the
top level therefore won't work right if it's using a different Python
version.
mailman is incompatible with importlib-resources 6.x, and upstream
have decided to remove the dependency.

In Nixpkgs, we currently have the strange situation where
pkgs.docutils (which was being used here) is on a different version
than pkgs.python3.pkgs.docutils (which is propagated from sphinx).
This led to a conflict here and a build failure.
Since we'd need to provide the same version as propagated by sphinx
anyway, let's just remove the explicit docutils check input and only
use the version propagated by sphinx, avoiding this kind of conflict
in future.
Fixes: 2312861130 ("docutils: 0.19 -> 0.20.1")
This hack was necessary for django 2.x[1] which was the default `django`
version (i.e. current LTS) when this fix was needed. However, 2.x is now
EOL and not packaged anymore and mailman is running with django3, so
this can be dropped.

When having a patch for a python module that should only be used for
mailman, but for nothing else, it's now possible to apply it like this:
self: super: {
mailmanPackages = super.mailmanPackages.extend (mailmanSelf: mailmanSuper: {
python3 = mailmanSuper.python3.override {
overlay = pythonSelf: pythonSuper: {
psycopg2 = /* ... */;
};
};
});
}
The underlying issue is that the `packageOverrides`-mechanism of
`pkgs.python3` doesn't compose, so an optional overlay is manually
applied to the `python3` used for mailman.
checkInputs used to be added to nativeBuildInputs. Now we have
nativeCheckInputs to do that instead. Doing this treewide change allows
to keep hashes identical to before the introduction of
nativeCheckInputs.
