Sorry if I left out this details here, they had been mentioned on #sysadmin <https://phabricator.kde.org/tag/sysadmin/>.

  Surely I cannot work on fix things that I don't know are broken, right? ;)
  And surely, I cannot provide more insights if you don't provide more details than "api.kde.org is broken!!!!111oneone", right? ;)
  Oh, and shall we stop sneaky remarks, shall not we? ;)

  it is buying us time. api.kde.org will need to be switched to use Python 3 sooner or later, so let's just take this occasion to do it ASAP, i.e. now. This way, there will be even more time to test things with Python 3 before it will be required to do so in hurry, later on.
