If you feel like you might, you definitely do :-).  Often people feel like they need to be advanced rocket surgeons to work on Twisted, but in fact, our robust code-review process means that you don't have to worry about making mistakes at all.  Just submit your best effort, and you'll get a code review telling you how to improve it so that it can be integrated (and you _will_ get at least one round of review: I created Twisted, and even _I_ can't usually land a patch without one or two rounds of review ;-)).

Thanks for offering to help out!  If everybody who wanted Python 3 support just signed on to work on a ticket like this, the port would have been finished a year ago ;-).

Our toolchain is a little clunky (sorry about that) for hysterical raisins.

Before I launch into an explanation though, are you already familiar with Git and/or how to contribute on GitHub?
