That would be a third source of info about who maintains what.<br>

If this file is created it should maybe override and cover what PEP<br>

I think this (PEP 291) should be referenced in the header of the file,<br>
since it would help inform various decisions. What it lists is<br>
something different from what maintainers.txt is proposed to list,<br>
since the PEP is talking about the maintenance of the non-stdlib<br>
versions of those modules. (Granted, that's relevant for the<br>
maintenance of the stdlib version, but not conclusive.)<div class="im"><br>

Antoine should hate this one (PEP 360) :) And it is, essentially, a<br>
deprecated PEP. (Which opens the question of what we should do about<br>
the modules it lists...though apparently we can now remove optik/optparse<br>
from it.)<div class="im"><br>
