Richard,

As you can see by this review comment:
https://github.com/twisted/twisted/pull/1525#issuecomment-786965737

Thomas Grainger and Adi Roiban have worked together to bump up the minimum
Python version to 3.5.3 for this
release ( https://github.com/twisted/twisted/pull/1524 ), and are not
approving the PR that I have submitted
in PR 1525.  Even though you approved PR 1525, I cannot merge it because
only PR reviews by people with
write access to the Twisted repo can be merged to the Twisted repo.

I am going to proceed with the release as-is with Python 3.5.3 as the
minimum version.  I hope that is OK for your needs.
