Python 2.7 reaches EOL on 2020-01-01.
This will obviously be a bigger change than dropping other minor versions, so it's a good idea to start thinking about how to proceed and to communicate that sooner rather than later.
Looking at Pillow's PyPI stats, Python 3 accounts for 60% of downloads and is increasing.

Pip has started warning that Python 2 support will be dropped in a future version and a number of other projects have pledged to drop it no later than 2020. The latest Django 2.x has already dropped it and:
Django 1.11 is the last version to support Python 2.7. Support for Python 2.7 and Django 1.11 ends in 2020.
What should Pillow do?
