As someone who has ported Python 3 to another "less commonly used"
system (RISC OS) I just do semi-regular updates rather than trying to
keep it it totally up to date with "main".
I have some vague recollection of there being talk about a "second tier"
of systems where there is at least a maintainer and build bot, but I'm
not sure what, it anything, came from that.
Cheers
Chris

Hi. I have an Alpha/OSF machine up and running.
It is little slow, but it works ok.
I would like to run Python3 on it.
I have it "compiling and working". It was easy enough so far.

Admitted, I haven't figured out what is happening with the posixsubprocess
module.
Yes? No? Maybe?
I can possibly provide ongoing "support" (I don't expect it will be much) and a
buildbot (if really required),
if I can get it working a bit more, if this is approved, etc. I haven't looked
It is difficult to maintain support for less commonly used systems. If
you maintain it personally (like using a cron) and look at the results
over time, you could see the difficulty in maintaining the support.
Personally, my vote is a -1 here. In the PR, another core-dev, Ronald
had commented that support for explicitly removed a few years ago.
