Good start. Now what is blocking those four?
Lack of developer interest/time/ability?

How about a basic how-to document? I maintain PyGreSQL and would like to move it to 3.x right now but I don't even know what the issues are.
I can see on the site the 2.x documents and the 3.x documents for
extending with C modules and I can read both from end to end but that hits the time issue above. If there was a relatively simple document
that showed what needed to be changed in the C code we could get
started on the transition sooner.

Or is there no change at the C level?  That would make things easy.

There are definitely changes at the C level.

I ported two pure C extensions from 2 to 3 and was even able to keep a single C codebase. I'd be willing to contribute my experiences to a document
somewhere. (Is there a Wiki?)

Indeed there is: http://wiki.python.org/moin/

Thanks. I don't want to appear ungrateful, but I was hoping for something specific to the 2-to-3 conversion. I guess someone has to start somewhere...
