Proposal to require python3-supporting modules to be packaged for python3

I've not posted here before, but I've been becoming more familiar with
python and have been doing some work on the various guidelines in my
capacity as an FPC member.

I was kind of surprised that with the push for "python 3 as default" we
don't actually have a guideline that modules supporting python3 actually
be packaged for python3.  (Or at least I'm blind enough not to see it.)
So I filed this:

  https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/526

I do all of my work in python3 these days, and of course I keep running
into things I'd like to use which support python3 that are only packaged
for python2.  I know I should just use virtualenv and not worry about
what's packaged but if we really want to go all in on python3 then we
should try to make sure our packages support it when the upstreams do.
