But the python part is easy

The tricky part is not the bytes vs str. The tricky part is to produce a plugin that will work with both the Python 2 and Python 3 versions of calibre. Your suggestions would completely break it for 99% of the current users of the plugin. If you want to do that, it will be gratefully received by the user when it is needed. Otherwise, it will get done sometime before the official Python 3 version is released. Either someone who uses it will do it, or one of the people fixing up the plugins whose author are no longer around will do it.
