Only Python 2 modules (i.e. stuff that installs into
/usr/lib(64)?/python2.7) were detected. Yours seem to be like some
sort of plugins.
Another one would be python2-libguestfs which does install files in
/usr/lib64/python2.7 and is present in the list, but wasn't removed by
anyone nor was a bug filed against it AFAICS. Anyway I can deal with
this one too.

Now?

If they are not depended upon, please remove them.
Since the beta freeze for Fedora 30 already happened and I don't
think this would unblock plenty other packages, I suggest to do it
in Fedora 31 only.
OK, it'll be good to finally get rid of Python 2.
