I'm glad you've found it so. Although familiar mostly with its flaws, 
now and then I stand far enough back to recognise how remarkable an 
achievement it is, and that I have the privilege of contributing to.

I don't think so. The main problem with that repo is that 2.7 moved on a 
lot since the fork, and since basic things like str changed from 2 to 3, 
there are technical problems merging. We also say amongst ourselves 
"we'll do that differently in 3" and it is difficult to see how you 
could, starting from there. 3 looks like a great opportunity for change, 
but the more one takes on, the longer it will be. Fortunately I have 
some time, but it has to be divided with 2.7.
