Hi,

Aside  from preferring to use current software, it looks as if zodb 5 with python 3 sometimes has significant performance advantages.

It has some oldish (1 year) requests for newer updates against it, and so I suspect the maintainers aren't too active.  The control file references Vcs-Svn: svn://anonscm.debian.org/pkg-zope/zodb/trunk, which has only the debian directory.

Isn't there a maintainer/uploader for this package, whom you could ask?
