In some ways that's the whole point of code. You want to get to forget about it doing all these things without you.

If that's the case then 2.7.18 will continue working and probably it is a bad idea to port it. A lot of work for minimum gain.
But if you actively changing the code, the maintenance will get more and more expensive. With packages dropping python 2 support if you discover a bug in one of your dependencies and fix is in package that no longer work on python 2 you'll need to backport the fix (and maintain your fork) or migrate your code.
