Do you think it'd be possible to script the python-foo to python2-foo renaming?
May be possible but given the variety in the spec files, we didn't think it would be easy. IMHO taking a bunch of provenpackagers and updating the packages manually without asking the owners will be less time consuming than creating an automated tool.
However, in both scenarios (people or tools), I consider that approach aggressive and would rather only do it when the deadlines are close. We'd rather not change other people packages and make them mad about what have we done. The transition to Python 3 is unfortunately considered a failure in eyes of some Fedora contributors.
I consider communicating our efforts with the package owners and explaining them what and how to do as more friendly approach. However, definitively more time expensive.
On the other hand, maybe we can start updating the packages co-owned by python-sig, as I would say those are considered to be maintained by the group rather than a person. In case you'd like to try to write an automated tool for that, please go ahead (but please let us know).
