Hello,
I don't want to maintain Distutils anymore for various reasons. I will focus for now on on Distutils2, shutil and sysconfig.
I would like to propose Eric (merwok on IRC) as a commiter to work on Distutils. He has done a great work in triaging the bugs and also has now a pretty good knowledge of the Distutils code. He's a GSOC student for distutils2 and has done a great coding work in there. I am pretty sure he would love to do this as I did.
If this proposal is accepted, I will ask Eric if he accepts it and wants to work on distutils maintenance, and follow his work until Distutils2 starts to be used.
Regards Tarek
