After some trial and error, I managed to modernize the old net-misc/electrum-ltc ebuild based upon the net-misc/electrum ebuild code.
I still need to tweak a few things, but it's basically done.
I am not (yet) a Gentoo dev, how do I move forward with the revised
ebuild?

So, it looks like the versions of net-misc/electrum (the Bitcoin client)
in Gentoo's repository are in pretty good shape. The version of net-misc/electrum-ltc (the Litecoin client) in the Gentoo repository
looks like it's two years old. (For those who are unfamiliar the
Litecoin client is downstream of the Bitcoin client, both projects share
a lot of the same code.) I checked upstream and the current version of electrum-ltc appears to have been bumped to Python 3.8 and it looks like the old aiorpcX (#792219) issue that was causing such a headache has
also been fixed as of a PR this past February. See my note in #792219.
Looks like you are correct, but note that we currently have 3.10 as
stable version, so electrum-ltc should be at least that version.
Pardon my ignorance, but couldn't this package be salvaged by
repurposing the net-misc/electrum ebuild code to bring the net-misc/electrum-ltc package current? Is the situation more complicated than that?
If any user manages to fix the issues mentioned in last rite message
(mainly bump to at least 3.10 python target), I would gladly cancel the last-rite and mask.
If you do it, please ping me in the PR, and I would gladly review it.
Those last-rites I did today are mainly for those packages that were
stuck in only 3.8, had a bug open for 7-10 month already. If any
maintainer can fix those ebuilds, I would happily revert the last-rite.
