Do you need a Co-maintainer?

I notice that it's about 8 years since you've done any work on IPA Zounds. It might not be Python 3 compatible - I've just installed it, and dir(ipazounds) gives the following.

['__builtins__',
 '__cached__',
 '__doc__',
 '__file__',
 '__loader__',
 '__name__',
 '__package__',
 '__path__',
 '__spec__',
 '__version__',
 'locale_dir',
 'os',
 'sys']

I'm a conlanger with strong Python experience (I'm a data scientist). Would you like some help to bring the library up to date?

I believe that the whole GUI will be difficult to update, since it uses PyGTK which I believe has not been developed for many years. I made a start on an entirely new IPA Zounds with a much richer GUI, but haven't done anything with it for a long time. If you'd like to fork this project, feel free, or I can try to find what I did with the new version and make it available.

I'm also a conlanger data scientist with strong python experience and I'd be up to contribute myself. I really liked using this back in the day (stronger than zompist's) and would like to get this working in python 3.

Patches to make the non-GUI portion of the programme work in Python 3 are most welcome.
