I don't expect a Python 3 version of Trac before a year from now.
Debian, the high speed train, overtakes Trac, the steam train!

AFAIK, those two are not Python and can use a remote Trac server,
so they can stay. All others need to be removed.

Just go ahead. I hope, we can reintroduce Trac in one or two
years, maybe in time for Debian 12 (bookworm), but probably not
for Debian 11 (bullseye).
