Please provide more context.  What Swift module does this refer to?  Is
this part of Dulwich?  Please write “Python 3” instead of “python3”.  In
general it would be good to use full sentences in comments that are not
completely obvious.

These are probably propagated-inputs.

This looks like an input that’s only needed for tests, so maybe it
should be a native input.  (Honestly, I’m not sure if the distinction
between native and target makes sense in a cross-building context for
Python modules, so maybe ignore this.)

Please use lower case.

What is an implementation of a file format?  Is this a library to read
and write these file formats?

Please add a comment explaining what this list means.

Why is this needed?

Same question as above.
