did you have a chance to look at the points above? we reached a point where moin is keeping in the archive a long list of modules (both directly and transitively) that, if moin was ported to python3, we could remove. I think it's important to start looking at the current code soon and start planning to migrate to is asap, as i know for a fact some maintainers are getting eager to drop python2 support from their package and may get over-exited and do that soon, without checking for their rdeps.
