Thanks for this initiative!

FontTools is a python library to manipulate font files, with a long history (the project started almost 20 years ago in 1999) and a relatively large community of contributors.

I wasn't sure where to put it in the list (we have 1,455 stars on github).
Anyway, we're happy to simply be here :)

I'll look forward to a world without python2.7 👍 🐍

classic typo for over-excitement in the PR title!
"FootTools".. also sounds interesting though 😄

Thanks! The projects are roughly ordered by Github stars; it looks like your tally would put you between Nikola (1586) and Pythran (997). It looks like some of them have got a bit out of order as projects get more stars, but that's still about the right spot.

Have you had a discussion with the other core developers of the project about signing up to the statement?

Ok, I'll put in that order then.
Yes, we discussed the timeline of py2.py3 support in fonttools/fonttools#765
I'm the maintainer of project.
