Reviving this thread...
After some discussion on the Httpd PMC on this matter, I think we all
agree that we would like to request a general Python TLP of the board.
There are, however, two issues that need further discussion:
1. "Python" is not a good name for this project because "Apache Python"
will just be too confusing and probably infringes on a PSF trademark. So
if you have any creative suggestions, send them in, don't be shy, even if
you think they may sound a little stupid at first :-)
2. The matter of who will be on the initial PMC and who will chair it.
Based on previous responses to this thread, the initial PMC will look at
least as follows:
Graham Dumpleton
Justin Erenkrantz
Jim Gallacher
Nicolas Lehuen
Gregory Trubetskoy
(Anyone else you think should be in the list - please step forward. I
think a prerequisite is prior ASF experience - committer, PMC member or
ASF member or preferably all three)
I volunteer to do the chair role - which basically means watching what we
do and keeping it organized and reporting/recording it.
After some discussion I will summarize what we arrive at and if we all
agree, it will be proposed to the Httpd PMC, who will then vote on it and
then we will submit it to the board.

I am for making mod_python a TLP, and I also support Jim's suggestion of
making it more general. So a late +1.
