We have that already. Many of the committers got commit rights for a
specific module only, see Misc/developers.txt. This is nowhere enforced,
but since committers know what they are supposed to work on, and since
everything is traceable, they stick to the rules.

In case it's still needed, +1.

Agreed. I'm happy to handle the official mentoring aspect as well -
I'll send him the usual request to provide SSH keys if he would like
commit access.

Cheers,
Nick.

[python-committers] rc delayed, waiting for Mac issues

2011-01-09 Thread Georg Brandl
Hi,

you may have noticed that 3.2rc1 was planned for today.  Since there
are quite a few critical Mac issues unresolved, Ned's contacted
Ronald about them, but we haven't heard back yet.  I'm going to delay
the rc for a few days to give him a bit of time (if maybe has was on
vacation this past week).

cheers,
Georg
