Hi Sylvain,

You are posting to the right place :-)

I would first try to contact the original author, either to ask if he is
maybe already busy porting, OR to offer help to him OR to ask him (in
case he lost interest) if you can take over maintainership.
You can find his email address in the metadata.txt

In case you just want to port yourself for fun or quick use: just ask
your questions here, pasting the error messages and preferably pointing
to code which you put online somewhere: github.com, gitlab.com or
https://git.osgeo.org/gitea.

In general I do not think it is wise (anymore) to try to be compatible
in one plugin with both 2.18 and 3.x QGIS.
