IMHO masking with unfixed, or much later, removal date will better help achieve your goal: You are making your point by having them masked so that it will make enough noise for interested people to understand py2 only is not a thing anymore. We already see a lot of "false positives", there are probably packages that just work but are lacking attention. If after a longer time those packages are still not fixed, you can probably safely remove them with the "meh, nobody cares anyway" reason and not even bother having to check hundreds (?) of packages yourself. The 30 days is usually a guideline for packages that have known issues but seems a bit short for checking if someone cares about a package using a deprecated but working python. Also, your list is missing dev-ros/* which is py2 only. I hope I'll be able to update them soon, last time I tried I failed miserably though since the whole stack is really python-single style so that one broken package with py3 causes the whole stack to be py2...
