Well the story is that we rely on this module here in our software for a number
of years and it's been blocking us from migrating code from Python 2.7 to 3.x
which prompted this change. On top of that, we've added some missing
functionality in out private fork over that time. Two came together and after
poking around I found https://github.com/astralblue/py-freebsd/ that had some
initial python3 work, as well as integrated some of the patches into it.

So I went on and forked that repo and made python 3.x actually working as well
as merged all relevant port changes. Just in case, I've submitted my python 3.x
changes to astralblue about a month ago as a pull request but that went
unnoticed.

I can maintain code on GitHub for now until somebody more motivated surfaces,
as for taking over port's MAINTAINERship, I'd probably pass on that. 

WRT contacting perky to rubberstamp those changes it's probably safe to say he
does not mind/care after all those years. But just in case I am including him
into the CC.

This is probably as far as I am prepared to go now to push this trough, so I'd
leave it with you as a maintainer to decide. Also if you have any ideas about
improving package (tests, PyPI etc) then a pull request on GitHub would be very
welcome!
