I wish you would subscribe. I wish everyone with checkin privs would
subscribe, even if they don't review the checkins it would be nice if
they at least read responses to their own checkins.
There seem to be so many exceptions in dealing with the core, it's
hard to keep them all straight. Things like: which module needs to
be kept compatible with which version, which developers don't read
python-checkins, which modules are externally maintained and should
get patches instead of commits, who works on which modules, which
buildbots are expected to fail and for what reason, which tests leak
inconsistently, who has outstanding actions for 2.5, etc.
Ok, most of those are just things I need to remember. I guess that's
an indication I should be doing a lot less work.
=) Well, the compatibility and what modules are maintained externally are both PEPs at this point (the externally maintained PEP is 360 and has not been pushed to the site yet). So at least for those you just need to remember to read something. =)
As for expected Buildbot failures, it might be nice to have something somewhere written down about that since I know I don't remember those details either.

PS. BTW, I don't do any work on the language as part of my day job.
Except this week I did suggest that 2 internal patches be submitted.
PPS. I blame my whining on lack of sleep. :-)
