This one caught me by surprise.

So, it looks like the versions of net-misc/electrum (the Bitcoin client) in
Gentoo's repository are in pretty good shape. The version of
net-misc/electrum-ltc (the Litecoin client) in the Gentoo repository looks
like it's two years old. (For those who are unfamiliar the Litecoin client
is downstream of the Bitcoin client, both projects share a lot of the same
code.) I checked upstream and the current version of electrum-ltc appears
to have been bumped to Python 3.8 and it looks like the old aiorpcX
(#792219) issue that was causing such a headache has also been fixed as of
a PR this past February. See my note in #792219.

Pardon my ignorance, but couldn't this package be salvaged by repurposing
the net-misc/electrum ebuild code to bring the net-misc/electrum-ltc
package current? Is the situation more complicated than that?

Someone would need to do it and nobody's done it until now...

You could!

Looks like you are correct, but note that we currently have 3.10 as
stable version, so electrum-ltc should be at least that version.

If any user manages to fix the issues mentioned in last rite message
(mainly bump to at least 3.10 python target), I would gladly cancel the
last-rite and mask.
If you do it, please ping me in the PR, and I would gladly review it.

Those last-rites I did today are mainly for those packages that were
stuck in only 3.8, had a bug open for 7-10 month already. If any
maintainer can fix those ebuilds, I would happily revert the last-rite.

After some trial and error, I managed to modernize the old
net-misc/electrum-ltc ebuild based upon the net-misc/electrum ebuild code.
I still need to tweak a few things, but it's basically done.

I am not (yet) a Gentoo dev, how do I move forward with the revised
ebuild?

Sorry for the delay, I have submitted my PR request to save
net-misc/electrum-ltc from last rites. I have tagged you and Sam.

https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/27731

Please let me know if there is anything more I need to do.
