And, as has been the case for a long time, the PSF stands ready to help with funding credible grant proposals for Python 3 porting efforts. I believe some of the core devs (including David?) do freelance and contract work, so that's an option definitely worth considered if a project would like to support Python 3, but are having difficulty getting their with purely volunteer effort.
Yes, I do contract programming, as part of Murray and Walker, Inc (web site coming soon but not there yet). And yes I currently have time available in my schedule.
