Out of curiosity: did you consider using a single source tree for Python 
2.x and 3.x, rather than a separate branch; providing Python 3 support by 
running 2to3 on build stage and #ifdef's + compatibility headers in C 
code? 

This approach allowed Numpy to support Pythons down to 2.4 with little 
extra work, and requires manual Python 3 specific fixes only when 
something breaks (which does not seem to occur often in practice).
