Funded Python 3 ports aren't a new idea, as the PSF has been offering & facilitating Python 3 porting grants since 2011: http://pyfound.blogspot.com.au/2011/12/psf-proffers-payment-to-port-to-python.html I know at least one former upstream Roundup developer recently moved into freelance software development & consulting, so I'll chat to him to see if he has any suggestions for possible ways forward here.
