I too, am for MaL's suggestion that we give Eric privs, and see how it goes before signing off on him being the long-term maintainer, but I am a strong -100 on allowing distutils to fall back to the way things were.

I agree with the last sentence. I was just trying to be prudent as to how we handle maintenance of delicate parts of the stdlib.
If it's just the maintainer issue concerning people, perhaps think of it as Tarek deputising to Eric - and I think we should allow active maintainers of modules to deputise people that *they* trust to do a good job.
+1 from me as well.
Cheers, Nick.
