I acknowledge that you have been very good at reviewing and merging my  py3
changes,
and I thank you very much for that.
However, other than reviewing my changes, I haven't seen you actively work
on any py3 related code,
so I don't understand where the time you are spending on py3 is going,
unless you count
it all as review time.

One of the reasons I have pushed heavily to get a working CI setup of py3
is mainly because of you.  You have demonstrated that you don't work in a
py3 environment at all,
and have even quite recently pushed changes to buildbot which break py3.

The biggest help you could provide is to have two virtualenvs (1 py2, and 1
py3) for
and have a single workspace with your code, and do more testing before
you even push things to GitHub.  Since you are the largest contributor to
buildbot,
you set the pace for how the project goes.
