As can be seen from 
https://github.com/wbsoft/frescobaldi/blob/master/ChangeLog this 
transition has been completed some time ago. Frescobaldi 3 exclusively 
requires Python3 and PyQt5. There's a glitch on some (?) LInux 
distributions that tend not to properly recompile one custom library 
after any PyQt5 update but basically it works.

But you are more than welcome joining development with other topics.
Just one example: currently I'm reviewing the code produced by a student 
of the Google-Summer-of-Code project 
(https://github.com/wbsoft/frescobaldi/pull/974). The point we're 
currently at (and I've got a bit stuck) is adding/improving the 
integration of the functionality with QActions, i.e. a natively Qt 
related issue.
Apart from that you could find yourself some minor tasks from the issues 
or feature requests and start getting familiar with the code base. Of 
course you won't be on your own with this ...

Best
Urs
