So we need for someone to port a non-trivial app to PyGI, and once
that works, try the Python 3 branches for PyGObject and PyGI. If
things don't work as expected, we need to add the relevant tests and
fix those until things work.

Maybe somebody interested on Python 3.x could coordinate with one of
them and test the branches once the port works?

If that person could add proper cases to the testsuite, it would give
a lot of confidence on the port.
