Request has some Python 3 implementation which should be dropped and the implementation of MutableMapping should be used instead:

I think you meant it has Python 2 implementation which should be dropped.
Indeed, the methods inherited from MutableMapping do the trick, so the three methods defined in the Request class should simply be removed.
This might be a breaking change; therefore we should wait for the next major release.
