API/ABI transitions (such as switching default Python 3 to be PYthon
3.5) are managed by the release team, with a workflow described at
<URL:https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/ReleaseTeam/Transitions>.

A transition is initiated by a bug report against ‘release.debian.org’,
tagged with the user-tag “transition”. You can check current transitions
<URL:https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?users=release.debian.org@packages.debian.org;tag=transition>.

The transition of default ‘python3’ to Python 3.5 does not appear in
that set, so I'm not sure how it's being tracked.

The prior transition – to add support for Python 3.5 – is at
<URL:https://bugs.debian.org/798999> and refers to future transitions.
I think maybe the “default python3 is Python 3.5” transition has somehow
become entangled with that prior one.

> Is there anything that can be done to help?

Have a read through the log for bug#798999 and see whether they're
waiting on something we can help with.
