Is this gist open to PRs (not a thing in gist I know, but if I made a fork would this get updated or would I need https://support.pagerduty.com/docs/maintenance-windows#section-recurring-maintenance-mode-for-services to point to my gist?)

I'd like to rewrite this to use argparse (https://docs.python.org/3/library/argparse.html) so the argument passing is a bit cleaner.

Is this gist open to PRs?

Fork, update, and leave a comment here.

Forked ( https://gist.github.com/Millnert/34b92e70a5dcc35fc252d7728eb559a9 ) and ported to Python3, added argparser and some logging printer. Worked for me just now.
