Is there any easy way that the burden of trunk -> py3k merging could be moved to the original committers of the trunk patches?
I'm not sure I understand the question. If the committer of the original patch would do the merge himself, then certainly the burden would be on him, and that's an easy way.
If you meant to say "an easy way to enforce...", then I cannot see how that could work, other than establishing that as a policy, and starting to revoke commit privileges to people who don't follow the policy.
I think we could just ask politely and try it for a while. If things aren't working, we can reevaluate.
Rather than actually merging changes, one could start sending out messages automatically to committers who don't either merge or block their changes within 24 hours (or send a summary message every day to python-dev).
Like above, let's try a little before we start setting up new infrastructure left and right.
