I am pretty much with Martin here (although i guess he uses polybory far more often than i do). I don't know much about autotools, but i can try to give a small hand on that and the python3 part. I hope with the arrival of July i will have some spare time for that.
I am also considering attending to the following Sage days in August. If somebody else is interested in that, we could try to work on that there.
