My guess is that as Python 2.7 gets longer in the tooth, and it becomes harder to motivate volunteers to shepherd contributed patches into Python 2, folks getting paid by employers who need Python 2 to continue to be maintained, will step up and go through the mentorship process so that they can more directly apply such patches. I.e. they can start to take over some of the active maintenance of the Python 2.7 branch.
