Could this eventually work on my decrepit Samsung Galaxy Player 3.6? It runs Android 2.3 gingerbread and I think Sailfish could possible make it a more usable device again.

Meh I'd rather developers jump in and start programming for Sailfish, people say Ubuntu is going to blow Sailfish out of the water, but two things:
A. they don't have a phone...
B. there also using Qt so when Ubuntu does finally arrive at the party everybody benefits.

"Jolla will launch soon a "hardware adaptation development kit". So anyone can start porting their own Android version.
Only requirement: support CyanogenMod 10.1 or higher (source: IRC)"
So you'll have to determine if your device supports, at minimum, CyanogenMod 10.1.

The main rationale he used for why they rarely cover sailfish but cover ubuntu touch heaps (even compared to the 3x main OS's) basically came down to:
ubuntu touch has a future because it has big/powerful backers, sailfish isn't interesting because it's chances of success longer-term are much lower
