This was sent to the FTP Team, but it seems like someone with some bandwidth 
to assist from DPMT/PAPT would be a better audience.  Note that the removal's 
already been done, but if someone wants to sponsor a python3 update to the 
package, they can ping me for a quick trip through New to bring it back.

Hello,

I am up upstream maintainer for colortest-python and wanted to communicate 
that
it is not dead and it fully supports running with python3. I responded with 
the
same message to the ticket about this (#936320). I'd be happy to help maintain
it the package if necessary.

Thanks.
