First off, I think svn HEAD has seen some python fixes, so it might be worthwhile to upload a snapshot (because I don't see another development release coming up soon). However, that will not magically fix all the issues in 0.3x. The biggest problem with 0.22 is that its syncml plugin no longer works with current (as in, last couple of years) libsyncml. Maybe a solution would be to drop most plugins, including the syncml plugin, and focus on the python bindings, i.e. the synce and barry plugins mostly (I don't think the moto plugin will be used much or is remotely usable). In that case, we'd still need somebody to fix up issues with 0.22 and python at least, if not in the 0.22 core. If you can commit to that (and/or maybe we find somebody else as well), I can try to get this approved by the release team and do the necessary testing uploads.
