OK, so your project is on top of Marcus's, so there's really only one
pygame2 project then? Perhaps it might be an idea to add your wrapper as
an optional module or something then.

I would disagree with this. I think moving forward to pygame2, it could
be a good time to clean up and redesign any problem areas. Much the same
as SDL 2 and Python 3 have recently done.

I would like to see a similar Pygame-like API though, we still want the
easy to use, and familiar design. But, existing projects can continue to
use pygame, while new projects should use pygame2, and so I don't think
there's a strong reason to ensure backwards compatibility.
