Hi,
I'd like to request adding the module
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/regex
to Python's standard library in the (near) future or to even replace the
current 're' module by it.
Personally I'm in need for fuzzy regular expressions and I don't see how
to do this easily and efficiently without this module.
For a long term project I also need some "guarantee" that this
functionality will exist in future.
So, is there a (formal) procedure for such a request or for initiating
some sort of vote on it?
I know there is a "Benevolent Dictator" for Python.
Should I try to contact him personally?
Many thanks for a hint,

My understanding is that the main stumbling block is there's no one
committed to being the maintainer of the code. If that commitment is
not made, and I belive it's required to be several (10?) years, then the
code may never get into the standard library. I'll happily stand
corrected if anyone knows any better.
