No idea whether it is sensible to answer rhetorical questions.
Since you asked despite you probably know that I'm doing even more than
usual for Debian Med since COVID-19 here some other reasons than the
usual ENOTIME excuse:

 - The development of that code is intransparent to me
 - Someone - whoever it was - just droped
     /srv/udd.debian.org/upload-history/munge_ddc.py.tentative
   at 2020-08-01 which seems to be a Python3 port of munge_ddc.py
 - I had simply hoped that your bug report might have triggered
   an action of the maintainer of that code (whoever this might be)
 - I was afraid to do some naive pocking in some code I need to
   understand first (while other more competent developers are
   just busy to fix things).

In other words: Its not really an inviting environment for potential
helpers.

To at least do something against the latter I injected everything I
categorized as "code or data that come from some source I do not have
any idea where to obtain from" into Git

    
https://salsa.debian.org/qa/udd/-/commit/a0408b9d03a9e26a775a9525760a02199c306f5d

I repeat that I consider it sensible to develop here in Git and work
with symlinks to /srv/udd.debian.org/upload-history/ - but even this was
not yet confirmed by those people who initially developed the code (nor
those who are working on munge_ddc.py.tentative.

IMHO the next logical step would be to replace the now unusable
munge_ddc.py by munge_ddc.py.tentative set the symlinks and simply
call the procedure to see what happens.  Do you want me to do this
or is there anybody who has a better idea to proceed (which I would
be very happy about).

Kind regards

        Andreas.
