Ok, thanks for the feedback.

I will probably fork rdiff-backup on github and create a new branch to
support python3. Will see how hard it is to support python3 ! I'm about to
complete rdiffweb porting and it was very painful. Let hope porting
rdiff-backup would be less painful.

Still, I'm far away to take over rdiff-backup.
