As Asciidoc is a volunteer open source project it will happen only if somebody contributes it, and bug reports to the Python 2 version are deprecated. > > 2) the port of asciidoc from python 2 to 3 can be helpful for the fixing of > bugs like this?

See https://github.com/asciidoc/asciidoc-py3, as the title says, real world testing welcomed. That said, this is what you should use if you have an investment in many extensions and tooling you want to keep. For "plain" Asciidoc you should probably use Asciidoctor. > > 4) going around on github I bumped into this: > > https://github.com/dagwieers/asciidoc-odf > > it seems to be very useful in my opinion.

You would have to address that question to the developer of that, not sure he still watches this list. > > BTW: why http://asciidoc.org sports only the old 9 November 2013: AsciiDoc > 8.6.9? Due to issues with the retirement of the original Asciidoc developer and the migration to github it is difficult to make changes to the website, so since Python2 retirement is looming and Asciidoc-py2 will EOL too nobody is interested in updating it.
