[Python-Dev] Partial support of a platform

PEP 11 defines the endpoint, full support, and several requirements to
call a platform fully supported. It would be nice if a process was
defined for getting from "no support" to "full support." I think that
to be as supportive as possible (no pun intended), it would make sense
to grant people check-in privileges to a branch (if that's possible or
desirable), or, if not, list forks which are intended to add support
for various platforms which are moving toward full support. I don't
know if PEP 11 is the right place to track such activity, relatively
few updates should be required. I doubt it will be an onerous burden.
Something like:

* ButterflyOS - Victor Stinner (victor.stinner at gmail.com) is working
to add CPython support for this platform on this Git branch:
https://github.com/python/Butterfly
* MothOS - Skip Montanaro (skip.montanaro at gmail.com) is working to add
CPython support for this platform on this Git branch:
https://github.com/smontanaro/Moth

Interested parties would be directed to contact the pilots of those
branches if they wanted to contribute.
