[Python-3000] Who wants to help me reorganize the stdlib?

[Quentin Gallet-Gilles]

I've been following the lists and the bug tracker for some months and am
beginning to contribute fairly trivial patches. I haven't done much yet, but
I'm interested in the stdlib reorg. If rookies are welcomed, please count me
in :-)
