I agree with 3.3 only. My suggestion: when you close the issues, change 
Versions to 3.3 and Resolution to 'fixed'. On the main issue, change 
Type to 'enhancement'. Add a message to others saying something like

"This was fixed for 3.3 in #xxxxx by rewriting and enhancing memoryview. 
The new version was not backported because it would either add new 
features, which is forbidden for bugfix releases, or would require 
substantial work to try to disable them without introducing bugs, 
without a guarantee that that would work"
