Well, I don't know that to be necessarily true, and I don't think the two
efforts are at all related.

I think it is true that there are no Canonical resources currently available
to add git support to Launchpad.  However, Launchpad is free software so
perhaps some folks in the community would be willing and able to help out with
that.  If you're interested I can point you to the right forums to get
involved.

The above referenced Python 3 port of Bazaar is certainly interesting, and it
would be a fun project to work on if I wasn't already overwhelmed with fun
projects to work on. ;)  Whether that port ends up being a fork or eventually
gets folded back into bzr mainline is something that may come up some day if
the work becomes viable.

OTOH, Bazaar is *also* free software, so like all free software, anybody with
an interest and time is welcome to fork it on their own initiative, and see
where it leads.

Cheers,
