+1 maintenance report

+1 maintenance shift Thursday and Friday, 7-8 Jan 2021.

I took a look at the libjsoncpp transition.

- opendht failed to build, but builds fine in sid and also built fine in a
hirsute chroot, so I've given the build back on all archs and it's
built/building successfully now.
- scanning update_excuses for other packages linked to libjsoncpp, I
spotted that waybar depends on both libjsoncpp and on spdlog, which was
not a candidate because it was dep-wait on i386. I fixed up the i386
whitelist to include liblist-more-utils-xs-perl, which has now built, so
in theory this will unblock soon.
- also linked to digikam via opencv; digikam has a new build-dependency on
qtwebengine5-dev, which is only available on x86 / arm, so I removed the
ppc64el/s390x/riscv64 binaries from the release pocket to let this
migrate.
- and to gst-plugins-bad1.0 via opencv, which seems to have a build failure
on ppc64el and s390x due to a segfault in gst-plugin-scanner and in
gst-codec-info-1.0; reproducible on s390x in a built tree with
`/usr/lib/s390x-linux-gnu/gstreamer1.0/gstreamer-1.0/gst-codec-info-1.0
debian/gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad/usr/lib/s390x-linux-gnu/gstreamer-1.0/libgstlv2.so`
but haven't had time yet to diagnose and resolve. A backtrace is:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
