If you want to backport the changes yourself, you should run
svnmerge.py; not sure how well this works on Windows, though (it invokes
an svn binary). The merge flow would be

  trunk -> release26-maint
       \-> py3k -> release30-maint

It's important to use svnmerge only, so that the merge tracking
properties are right.

In 2.6, do "svnmerge.py merge -r<rev>", then "svn commit -F
svnmerge-<tab>". In 3k, do the same, although you might have
to recompile the stubs in-between in case there are merge
conflicts on the binary files. In 3.0, do the same, but you
need to "svn revert .", because there will be merge conflicts
on ".".

If you don't want to perform all these operations, let me know,
and I'll do them.
