Handy report() function

See trac_helper.py

Relational error logging

See trac_helper.py and collect-pkgs.py.

Email-based error reporting

See email_warnings.py.

RPM Makefiles

See rpm-packaging as well as individual projects like [1] along with my Fedora packaging bibliography.

pymeta parser-based controllers

See triagebot for cute tricks.
