Unfortunately, the fix is not as simple as this. This change does stop the failures, but the changes to the apt python bindings are much larger than just this. I don't think the parsing of Packages files is working at all after this change. That prevents apt-p2p from functioning properly. Are you able to see your apt-p2p clients sharing data with each other after this change? In terms of discontinuing/abandoning the project, I have just started a new job where I have little time to devote to it. The combination of requiring extra work to fix it, and the lack of users, makes me unwilling to contribute much time. If you are able to devote some time to working on this project, perhaps towards the goal of eventually taking it over, I would be happy to help you out during the learning phase. Or if you know of others willing to contribute, that would be great too.
