I’m working on a large project closely related to Mailman and I use pietist currently for my 700 tests.

Hello,
I am a contributor to the testing library pytest, and in April we are holding "adopt pytest month". We are inviting open source projects who are interested in possibly taking up pytest, to be paired with experienced pytest users, who can help them convert and write tests, and show ways to make the most of pytest. More info here: https://pytest.org/latest/adopt.html
Pytest tests typically require much less boilerplate and feel more "Pythonic" than unittest style tests, and there are also 100+ plugins available, as well as many API hooks for writing your own customisations. (Although, it can run unittest style tests by default, as well as nose and doctests.) So... we think it's pretty cool and have lots of volunteers eager to help spread the love.
This is a bit of a cold call email, so please excuse me for butting in. It looks like everyone is quite busy preparing 3.0 and GSOC. However if there is someone who would be interested in working with a pytest volunteer on this...please let me know/sign up!
Thanks, Brianna
