He can work on C, Python, and .rst code and text He has shown himself to be a careful reader of both code and text. He has also participated a bit on pydev.

I believe he said last September, in private email in response to my query, that he would like full developer privileges 'someday'. Before I reviewed his tracker activity, I was merely going to recommend that we 'start thinking about' a promotion. But then I discovered that he had done much I did not know about, as several developers (me, Alexander B, Georg B. Eric A, Michael F., ...) have done commits involving his patches. So I now think, 'why wait?' I am confident that he will start with whatever cautions he is given, with issues that are either trivial or that have been reviewed by others.

In case it's still needed, +1.
