This is just a suggestion, but the easiest way of getting good support for a non-mainstream platform is to provide a build slave: http://www.python.org/dev/buildbot/ Setting up a build slave takes 20 min: http://bugs.python.org/file24399/buildslave_install.txt On Unix running a build slave is practically zero-maintenance. The general problem with exotic platforms is that developers aren't able to reproduce the issue and are reluctant to commit a fix which they can't test.
