I think there's a difference in granting commit access to the repo and taking over maintenance of a huge stdlib package.
The first is easy to grant. The second requires more support from the developer community to be successful. Without knowing how Eric works, I think it's difficult to judge whether he'd be a good maintainer or not. Why not start with giving him commit rights and then see how things work out for a few months. After that we could then assign the maintenance to Eric.
Sounds good.
FWIW: I think you've done a great job at maintaining distutils and I'd like to thank you for that.
Thanks !
