At the least we need a stable release so that Python 3 support can land

I don't know how the rest of the mailing list feels, but  looking at SDL 
2 (perhaps along the lines of Ren'Py's pygame_sdl2 project?) seems like 
a decent starting point.

People are still writing cool stuff in Pygame and bugs seem to still be 
getting fixed.
