FWIW, the effort of porting the "modern" bits of the Zope ecosystem (the
ones I still use in Pyramid apps today, meaning the component
architecture, the ZODB, and a few others) soaked up basically all of my
FLOSS time between the two Santa Clara PyCons.

To be fair, some of that effort went into improving test coverage, docs,
etc., to ensure that the apps running against the ported librarties
wouldn't break, even on Python2:  but is was *not* a trivial effort.
