Sorry I really haven't commented on this until now, but I have a lot of
balls in the air, and sometimes minor, but very important details, like
this slip by.

Excellent. So we do have some time.

Okay, I will take that into consideration.

My plan then is to focus on determining how difficult supporting
Pyobfsproxy on Android will be, and otherwise, try to find funding and
resources to maintain the C version and potential to port obfs3.

Thanks!
