Personally, I'm glad that most of Python Dev don't hang around here. We are far better off if Python Dev, you know, actually Devs Python, rather than answering (mostly) easy questions and getting stuck in tar-pits.
Since 3.2 was released 45 days ago, the active devs have been busy. Misc/News in the repository has about about 170 entries for 3.3. At least 80% of the changes were also made to 3.1 and 3.2, and most of those to 2.7 also. There were perhaps another 10 just for 2.7. So there are about 180 unique changes for an average of 4 per day. I suspect the average time for each is at least an hour.
When I get up to speed with hg and start contributing again, I will spend less time here.
