Is there a good way to get attention to this pull request?

This would be quite a nice and useful workaround for issues in Europe, where the base library zbar mis-interprets the encoding:

• https://github.com/mchehab/zbar/blob/9f0cbc70aba627afe02cb0afdb8fbc39eb4f229d/zbar/qrcode/qrdectxt.c#L212
• Wrong text encoding assumption: Wrong text encoding assumption mchehab/zbar#212
• Related to Decoding umlauts: Decoding umlauts #14

My workaround for now is the following, which could be avoided if one could just get the binary representation of the QR codes:

  try:
    logging.info("  - Trying the ugly workaround to re-encode utf-8 to big5, then back to utf-8")
    logging.info(res[0].data.decode('utf-8').encode('big5'))
    return res[0].data.decode('utf-8').encode('big5').decode('utf-8')
  except:
    logging.info("  - Re-encoding failed, so the qrcode is probably ok already in utf-8")
    logging.info(res[0].data.decode('utf-8'))
    return res[0].data.decode('utf-8')

Getting the same issue. Hope this pull request gets more attention as soon as possible!
