+1 maintenance report - week 29

[Simon Chopin]

My week was not really productive on the +1 front, as I've had several
small interruptions that have been adding up. Anyway, here's the small
summary of the notable accomplishments of the shift:

## Rust ecosystem

I've retriggered a fair number of builds for Rust crates that were
synced at the same time as one of their build-dependencies.

## weechat-matrix vs python-matrix-nio

weechat-matrix autopkgtests were failing against the new matrix-nio
version. It turns out to be because the latter broke its logging API.
I wrote an upstram patch[0] and a Debian Salsa MR[1], both of which have
been merged, and the fixed package has been synced since.

## nbconvert vs nbclient:

The nbconvert autopkgtests were failing against the new nbclient[2], as
well as ipycore (which turned out to be caused by nbclient).

The issue turned out to simply be a case of nbclient prettyfying the
wayt it displays exceptions, adding color codes, and thus breaking the
simple pattern used in the nbconvert test code. The issue was fixed
upstream, so I backported the patch in a Salsa MR[3] that bdrung kindly
uploaded to Debian.

## Miscellaneous work

I retriggered the usual batch of failed tests that seemed to be timing
out, as well as a few builds of Rust crates that were just waiting for
their new build-deps to be available.
