The problem is that the codebase as inherited from Jim Hugunin has never

been in a state such that apart from minor patches, passing tests is a 
sufficient condition to be acceptable for a patch. So patches not only 
need to be written but also need to be reviewed. In that process new 
core developer with broad responsabilities can prove themself and join.
[It is a fact that when we had more time and people for that few people 
with significative and good patches showed up.]

This and what patches are needed, what can be deferred etc is the right 
discussion at the wrong time.

My next to-do is implementing subclassing for new-style classes and then

consider what is the minimal amount of work that is really necessary 
before the new-style branch can be merged.

After that going through the patch backlog is the next thing, and also 
have this discussion.

IMHO, right now this discussion is not a good way to use my time, it
just results in me getting unfocused.

We are talking a 1-3 weeks timespan here.

Thanks
