Apparently Fedora have a way to build it with Python 3.8, we should be able to do the same.
Adding Francesco who maintains the only unconditional revdep - media-gfx/rawtherapee - of this package (in total: 2 revdeps): maybe you are interested in picking up that bump.
It seem the project has a new home ora at least a friendly fork with version 1.0.5 (year 2017) (in place of 1.0.4 on sourceforge year 2009): https://github.com/ianw/libiptcdata I'll have a look in the next few days

by the way upstream confirmed that it's required: https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/14590#discussion_r377667501
It's fine, if the py3 version works.
