If you remember that this is the procedure: sure. However, if the maintainer of a package thinks (and says) "somebody edited my code, this should not happen again", then I really think the code is better not part of the Python distribution. > I mean, we're not really talking about ordinary leak-elimination or > portability-fixing > or security-hole-plugging maintenance; it's the > let's-extend-the-api-in-incompatible- > ways and fork-because-we-can stuff that I'm worried about. I can understand that (and supported it in the first place, as you may well recall). You should decide whether you worry about that so much that you don't trust python-dev contributors to treat this in a sensible way. If you don't trust them, you should withdraw your code.
