Hi Tarek,

Depending on your definition of core, none. He works on Distutils2 and

I support Antoine here. The core may not just mean the CPython
interpreter, but the stdlib module too.

Simple patches (in the form of Code) is helpful before giving the
commit access.

I have seen Eric interacting a lot in tracker but mostly in the form
of words and less code. So, I think some patches will help us all to
be favorable to him too.

Tarek is saying that Eric has already contributed substantially to distutils2, which may not be part of the standard library *yet* but will be and is being developed as a standard library module. Perhaps Tarek could link us to a couple of these contributions, or those concerned could look at the distutils2 commit log to see his contribution.

So long as Eric is prepared to commit to our standard procedures (discussion and patches on issues before commit and general caution and regard for backwards compatibility) I would like to see him given commit rights under the watchful eye of Tarek and those who review checkins. We could see this as an "experimental" commit access in line with the lowered barrier proposed by Guido.

Michael


Thanks,
Senthil
