As far as I can tell, the newer versions are incompatible, and porting would be 
a pain.

Distros are also dropping python2.  So if it wasn't one thing, it would 
probably be another.  I had a version of my preview plugin for Geanypy, but 
switched to GTK3 a long time ago.  Was surprised to learn that Geany was still 
being built with GTK2 on Windows.

I guess having spyware would help to know where to put effort...

I just put peasy in a 
[PPA](https://launchpad.net/~xiota/+archive/ubuntu/geany-plugins).  It 
successfully compiles for Ubuntu 18.04, 20.04, 21.04, and 21.10.  I'm able to 
test that it works on 21.04, but don't have the others installed.

I saw that @kugel- had [written a 
comment](https://github.com/kugel-/peasy/issues/14#issuecomment-797687553) 
saying "I also wasnt really aware that there are more than 2 people in the 
world are using peasy :-)" ... Maybe he'd be willing to have it distributed 
with Geany if he knows there's interest?
