I co-maintain Debsources, which is already in the Debian service census
(https://wiki.debian.org/Services), with an entry at
https://wiki.debian.org/Services/DebianSources

Debsources is currently deployed on Python 2 (migrating to Python 3 is
tracked at #764961).

I've recently migrated it to a code base that _should_ work with both
Python 2 and Python 3, using a mixture of python-modernize, refactoring,
and peer review (thanks Niels for spotting many glitches!). But that's
just the theory, as nobody has ever tried to actually _deploy_ it with
Python 3.

And the reason for that are that at least the following dependencies of
Debsources are missing Python 3 package in Debian:

- flask-wtf: #764959
- wtforms: #780600

I _think_ in both cases there is Python 3 support upstream, but I
haven't thoroughly investigated this. Other people on debian-qa (Cc:-ed)
might have.

Cheers.
