I know a handful QGIS core developers who are waiting for a plan from
PSC about 3.0.

There is no "funding behind the scenes" - at least I know nothing 

The only funding initiative there is around QGIS 3.0 is the PyQGIS
updates initiative from Matthias - which will be a sponsoring project
from QGIS-CH. QGIS-CH funds each year two smaller projects with 5k CHF
each. This year we had 4 proposals of which the members voted on - until
today. Matthias project with the PYQGIS updater received most votes so
far. 

So 99% QGIS-CH will "partially" fund this project. Since the whole
project is a bit more expensive than what QGIS-CH pays for, we hope that
QGIS.ORG will approve to pay the rest - or some other external funder. 

The other funding QGIS-CH will do in 2016 is 10k CHF dedicated
sponsoring for bug fixing. 

This is all I know of. Without any plan from PSC or proposals from devs
(like Matthias did), there will be not other funding around 3.0
