Decisions are not made through voting, so that would be informative, but little more :-) I think it's better that you contact the author upfront, asking for a provisional agreement about stdlib inclusion. If he's not interested, then no need to pursue it further. If he's interested, then you can start working on a more formal proposal (for example a PEP).
