I've heard back that Ubuntu is in the same boat, also wanting a python3 compatible cloud-init in the near future. The author of the patch you mention is actually a cloud-init maintainer so could merge stuff himself, but he really needs others to review his patches before doing that. None the less, it sounds like there might be a bit of interest and movement upstream to try to get this porting work finished.
