It's my understanding that it's designed to work with both Python 2 and
3.  It's unlikely that the shebang will be updated until it's no longer
guaranteed to work with Python 2, since `python` is more generic than
`python3`.  When that is, I don't know, since I don't use Perforce and
don't maintain git-p4, which has a separate maintainer.
