Great! It is licensed to all under the GNU GPLv3 or later, so you have the
freedom to do that.

Wow, thank you for that work. A port to Python 3 has been part of the plan
since the beginning.

Yes. The project is maintained in a Bazaar branch; please get your own by:

    $ bzr branch --bind http://bzr.debian.org/bzr/python-daemon/python-daemon.devel/

and branch from that to make your local changes. You can then send normal
patches (using ‘bzr diff’).

To be nicer, you can send a Bazaar change bundle with:

    $ cd python-daemon.aarons-changes/
    $ bzr send --mail-to ben+python at benfinney.id.au ../python-daemon.devel/

You may want to subscribe to the development forum for ‘python-daemon’

I am Cc-ing this response there.

Thanks again for your interest in improving ‘python-daemon’.
