Sure.

Pretty please, could you look into it?

I already requested the branch, but I can't build it because it's blocked by python-mistune.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 37 development cycle.
Changing version to 37.

*** Bug 2133569 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Looks like Python SIG has access to mistune, so I've just requested a branch there

python-m2r uses python-mistune08, not python-mistune.

python-mistune08 is already available in EPEL 9.

There is a monor glitch though:

On EPEL 9:

# m2r --help
usage: m2r [-h] [--overwrite] [--dry-run] [--no-underscore-emphasis]
           [--parse-relative-links] [--anonymous-references]
           [--disable-inline-math]
           [input_file ...]

positional arguments:
  input_file            files to convert to reST format

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --overwrite           overwrite output file without confirmaion
  --dry-run             print conversion result and not save output file
  --no-underscore-emphasis
                        do not use underscore (_) for emphasis
  --parse-relative-links
                        parse relative links into ref or doc directives
  --anonymous-references
                        use anonymous references in generated rst
  --disable-inline-math
                        disable parsing inline math


On Fedora:

# m2r --help
usage: m2r [-h] [--overwrite] [--dry-run] [--no-underscore-emphasis]
           [--parse-relative-links] [--anonymous-references]
           [--disable-inline-math]
           [input_file ...]

positional arguments:
  input_file            files to convert to reST format

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --overwrite           overwrite output file without confirmaion
  --dry-run             print conversion result and not save output file
  --no-underscore-emphasis
                        do not use underscore (_) for emphasis
  --parse-relative-links
                        parse relative links into ref or doc directives
  --anonymous-references
                        use anonymous references in generated rst
  --disable-inline-math
                        disable parsing inline math


I.e. the help text says "optional arguments:" instead of "options:". Which should not be a big problem. However, one of the tests checks that "m2r --help" contains some specifix strings:

    def test_no_file(self):
        p = subprocess.Popen(
            [sys.executable, '-m', 'm2r'],
            stdout=subprocess.PIPE,
        )
        p.wait()
        self.assertEqual(p.returncode, 0)
        with p.stdout as buffer:
            message = buffer.read().decode()
        self.assertIn('usage', message)
        self.assertIn('underscore-emphasis', message)
        self.assertIn('anonymous-references', message)
        self.assertIn('inline-math', message)
        self.assertIn('options:', message)


As can be seen here, one of the strings that it looks for is "options:", which causes the test to fail.
Removing this line (or replacing it wit a chech for something else) makes the test succeed and the package build.

python-mistune08 didn't exist at the time of my comment :)

Thanks for the PR, let me comment there.
