ReqBy does not list parents of weak dependencies

[Mershl]

Hello,

I was looking for some packages which have been introduced as weak dependencies - as dnf treats weak dependencys as "normal" dependencies per dnf's default configuration.

Listing the ReqBy (using b) does not list the parents of these packages.

Example gnome-shell-extension-gamemode (r and b pressed):

dnf repoquery is showing the dependency:

Unfortunately, there is no support for weak dependencies in rpmreaper. If they were handled as hard dependencies, they would show up in the list, but there would be false reports of broken packages and non-leaf packages.

The above example of gnome-shell-extension-gamemode looks like an purely user installed package in rpmreaper but it will be removed by dnf once steam is marked for removal.

As a system maintainer I'd love to see weak dependencies in rpmreaper - possibly listed with a special color / prefix / ... and excluded from the broken package analysis?

It's on my todo list, together with boolean dependencies, but I'm not sure when, if ever, I'll have time to work on it.
