Ok, the new asyncio.subprocess module has been merged.
Use asyncio.create_subprocess_exec/shell to create a subprocess and then use asyncio.wait_for(proc.wait(), timeout) to wait for the exit of the process with a timeout. The wait is asynchronous thanks to asyncio internals.
I close the issue. I consider it fixed with the asyncio option. As I wrote, I don't think that it's possible to fix it in subprocess in a portable way without breaking backward compatibility. asyncio is new and so there is no risk of breaking the backward compatibility.

resolution: -> fixed
