Package has been slow to port away from pygtk [1] and python2 and is one of the last remaining blockers. [2] Meanwhile, upstream actually managed to port to gtk3 and recently merged that work to master. [3] A new release is imminent [4] so now is the time to start work on an ebuild. If you are using this package, consider stepping up as maintainer *now*. Otherwise, last-rites and removal from tree will happen soon.
