As a project maintainer I wouldn't want an intern being the most familiar person with our Py3 migration, I'd rather students stick with new features or optimization and coordinate the migration process as a group-wide effort. 

Without help, it is going to take a long time to get many packages converted to 
3.x.
I think the students can be invaluable in this process.  Ideally, they will 
tweak
the 2.6 code until it converts cleanly using 2-to-3.  That sort of work will be
easy to maintain.

IMO, this is the most important thing that can be done for Python at the moment.
I would much rather this sort of work than having a student build a new library
module and then not be around to maintain it.
