Hi, 

I am afraid this patch will be ignored. It seems the maintainer has not
responded to contributions at all in the past 5 years. The upstream tree
seems not maintained any longer. There was another developer who tried to 
send a patch two years ago, but he got no response.
Cf. https://lore.kernel.org/all/OSBPR01MB294973D46ADE4ED7A7D3E19AEF880@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

I believe nfsometer is still useful in measuring performance of various
NFS settings. I think this patch should go into the tree to let people continue
to it as python2 is already removed from some distros such as CentOS/RHEL 9.

Does anybody has any idea? As the software is licensed under GPLv2,
I think it is possible that someone create a fork and take over the project.
Is it possible to contact Dros (Weston Andros Adamson) to ask if he is
still willing to continue maintaining nfsometer?
