Very much +1.

I like the development model where we have a gatekeeper against merges to the
trunk better than post-merge buildbot-style validations.  That way, we know
that only merges that pass the test suite will land on trunk, so it should
always be releaseable.

The downside to that is that the gatekeeper is usually one exact setup (e.g. a
specific version of the OS, a specific choice for backend database, a specific
Python version, etc.)  buildbots/jenkins, etc. then augment that to make sure
that we haven't regressed on supporting PostgreSQL, MySQL, PythonX.Y, etc.

>2. A responsive ui for Postorius

Very much +1.  Another thought would be to support an app that you could
install on Android or iOS (or Ubuntu Touch? :) to more directly control a
Postorius server.

>3. Various Python 3 ports

Very much +1.  More on this later.

>4. Postorius: Improve the test suite

+1

abompard has a merge proposal that I've been slowly working through here.

Styles, yes, this would be nice and very doable for GSoC.

Thanks for doing this Florian and to Terri for getting the ball rolling.
