I think TeX Live should be fine. All of the python scripts provided by the
texlive-collection-* packages are identical across platforms, so any python3
incompatibilities would almost certainly have been reported and fixed by now. I
think all I have to do is rebuild the collections that contain python scripts to
make sure I pick up the latest versions of the upstream packages, and also to
let cygport update the dependencies. I can do that quickly as soon as cygport
is ready for the new system.
My other package listed in your spreadsheet, bzr-fastimport, is of very low
priority. It can be dealt with when and if bzr is updated. Since there hasn't
been an upstream bzr release in 5 years, updating bzr might simply be a matter
of changing the shebang in /usr/bin/bzr to specify python2. But that's up to Jari.
