I also reached out to Pyston at https://gitter.im/dropbox/pyston over the
weekend to see if they would want to participate as well.

So are we actually going to try and make this happen? I guess we should get

I'm +1 on the idea, but I currently don't have the time to help beyond
helping drive the email conversation.
