MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for requests-aws [2]:

Discontinued after 2015 (both for Python 2.7 and 3).
Nothing depends on either the python (3) or the python2 subpackage.

I'd suggest to delete this, as part of eliminating truly old packages
that are not used - especially this kind, which is a library,
not an end-user application - to ease maintenance burden also
with respect to dependencies.

And as AWS is so popular, there are many other currently
supported ways to communicate with it.

I think it's safe to suppose that a 7-year-old interface
library for a fast-developing cloud provider such as Amazon/AWS
could not really be relied upon for stability or security.
