6 I use fvwm-crystal, so I'll speak up on its behalf...
7
8 fvwm-crystal has supported python3 since version 3.6.0.
9
10 It is still active upstream; version 3.6.5 was released 2020-04-24:

12 https://sourceforge.net/projects/fvwm-crystal/files/3.6.5/
13
14 There has been a PR by the x11-themes/fvwm-crystal proxy maintainer
15 (also the upstream maintainer) to bump to v3.6.2 which switches to py3,
16 and add acct-group/fvwm-crystal for GLEP 81 since Feb:

19
20 (Nevermind the typoes in the bump subject.)
21
22 It looks like the PR got caught up in order-of-operations issues w/the
23 switch to acct-group/fvwm-crystal, the PR for which got held up for
24 other reasons.

26 Dominique if you are no longer able to/interested in proxy-maintaining
27 the Gentoo fvwm-crystal package and want to offload it, I can try, since
28 otherwise I will keep it in a local overlay anyway.
