My motivation is purely having a working suds for Python3 so that I
can use stdnum.eu.vat.check_vies in Python3 (see
https://bugs.debian.org/774948 ). If my work is useful to others, then
I'm happy to share it, if not I'll keep it is a local package for me.

No.

Since you seem to have good not-too-long-term plans, I'm happy if we
ask ftpmaster to reject my upload to make way for your plans.
