I'd like to jump in and vouch for Chris. I've known him for many years and while we haven't worked closely I expect he'd be a valuable contributor. So +1 from me for giving Chris commit privileges for core Python.
Thanks :-) I can't promise how *much* time I'll be able to give, but when I do have itches, I'll certainly be scratching them...
(Chris, I assume you'll go through an apprentice phase where you'll be letting another committer review your changes before you commit them yourself.
How does Python work w.r.t. to dev? I'm used to the branch/merge pattern: - create branch, say chris.withers-issue4308 - do work on that branch - request code review - merge branch to appropriate release branches and trunk - delete branch If this isn't the pattern Python uses, why isn't it? ;-)
Rietveld at codereview.appspot.com should be helpful for getting your code reviewed. (Just use upload.py instead of the Create Issue form. :-)
OK, although I'd prefer the branch/merge pattern, less toolage required... Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Zope & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk
