I think FESCo would agree to temporarily continue building it with
python2, given that upstream has already worked on supporting building
with python3 eventually. At least, I would approve such an exception
request (and other, similar requests for firefox, chromium, etc. have
already been approved).

But, if you think a current git snapshot would be an appropriate
target for packaging, that solves the problem as well (I don't know
how stable their development branch is).
