Thanks for this updated list Stuart, this was also previously
highlighted here with my thoughts on a plan at that time:

(although a few of the things mentioned on that thread have since been
addressed).

interesting, hadn't looked at the ports with maintainers myself yet.
but will look at if maintainers don't tackle. in which case, thanks
for the hints.

That sounds great. Getting boost moved over would be a huge help. I
think it's one of the last big stumbling blocks.

I don't know if we need it just yet? I'd like to at least finish
trying to see how much stuff can be moved over. I had a rough sketch
of a plan for everything apart from some of the games to be honest so
I think we can make a lot more progress before we need a py2-numpy
port.
