Comment 5 for bug 1769267

Yes, it needs a bit of work, especially conversion to Python 3. I am
thinking that, with everything in the backends, here is a product built for
talking to all the remotes we have, and then some.

It will need a man page entry, but that will probably just refer to the
rclone docs (much better than ours). We will normalize the process and put
in some tests as well.
