I think a good place to start is by just filing bugs against packages that rely
on Python 2, saying that they face removal once Python 2 is EOL. As Konrad
pointed out though, not every package necessarily needs to support Python 3. I
think there can probably be exceptions for packages that do not add much
security risk or maintenance work.
Red Hat will continue providing security fixes to Python 2 for several more
years. PyPy will also continue to support Python 2 indefinitely, so packaging
that and making it an option in python-build-system may be an option for some
packages.
