Author of marshmallow here. We need your help with marshmallow 3.0

Hello! I am the author of [marshmallow](https://github.com/marshmallow-code/marshmallow). I'm here to ask for your help
with development on marshmallow 3.0, which is underway!

**What is marshmallow?**

marshmallow is a library for validating, deserializing, and serializing data. It's most commonly used to validate request input, deserialize to models, then serialize models to response data.

As web apps are increasingly API-driven, marshmallow has become a popular tool in the Flask ecosystem.

**How can you help?**
