I propose that Alexander Belopolsky be given svn commit access. I've already checked with him that he's interested (he is), and I'm prepared to mentor him while he's learning the ropes.
A brief history: Alexander's been contributing patches for almost seven years (I think http://bugs.python.org/issue798269 is the first); in that time he's provided numerous patches, comments, and patch reviews. Just as a guide, a quick search on bugs.python.org shows that he's nosy on over 200 issues. I've recently worked closely with him on a couple of patches, and think he's ready for commit rights.
In particular, I think it would be great to have his help with the datetime module, which is in currently need of some care and attention.
Any objections or comments?
Mark
