I've reviewed and commented on or committed a lot of the open bugs
with patches.  I'll continue to try to keep this queue short.

Ben Maurer is the other committer with Python expertise.  He is also
the only one who knows C#.

I'd be fine with adding more committers, but I'm not convinced that
too few committers is the problem.  Anyone can read over a submitted
patch and provide feedback (or just comment to say they're read it
and think it is good).  If an issue has a lot of discussion, revision,
and finally approval, it becomes a lot easier for a committer to
rubber-stamp the patch.  I'll try to get more Thrift users at Facebook
to subscribe to the dev list, but this is something that non-committers
can do on their own.

As to the specific issue of the Twisted patch, this is a pretty significant
amount of code that takes some specialized knowledge to review competently.
I know someone who might be able to invest the time to do so, but I think
contributors are going to have to be patient with such difficult-to-review
patches.
