I would appreciate advice on how to structure obsoleting the existing packages:

python-nghttp2
python2-nghttp2
python27-nghttp2
python3-nghttp2
python36-nghttp2

given replacement packages python37-nghttp2 and python38-nghttp2.
I can define all those as empty packages for the proposed release,
but which should obsolete what to get the appropriate replacements?
Should I define the following packages e.g.:

  python2-nghttp2 dummy obsoletes   python-nghttp2
python27-nghttp2 dummy obsoletes  python2-nghttp2
  python3-nghttp2 dummy obsoletes python27-nghttp2
python36-nghttp2 dummy obsoletes  python3-nghttp2
python37-nghttp2 real  obsoletes python36-nghttp2
python38-nghttp2 real  stands alone for now?

Thank you very much - appreciate that!
Repology.org dropped the extraneous maintainership adds/removes ;^>
