If your work speeds CPython, U.S. would have to be even better to knock 
it out.

2.6.6 is scheduled for August. 3.2 releases should start thereafter with 
a December target.

On licenses. Look for the contributor agreement on the site. It says 
that you license your code on a non-exclusive basis to the PSF under one 
of two licenses. Both allow PSF to relicense and redistribute your code 
as part of a Python release. I recommend you print it out and, as 
someone else suggested, check with your advisor/university as to whether 
there is any problem with you contributing the software under one 
of*those particular licenses*.
