I'm pybsddb maintainer since late January. Maintainer transfering ownership is going a bit slow, since both Greg and I are busy guys. Also, I have no commit access to python svn, and I'm barely familiar with practices here (just reading PEP are not enough); managing by proxy is a bit... difficult. That said, it is my aim to keep bsddb in stdlib, providing a stable and featureful module. I think keeping bsddb development inside python svn is not appropiate. Currently (I could change idea), my approach will be keeping pybssdb as a separate project and sync with python SVN from time to time. Mainly to take advantage of buildbot architecture and, of course, to be able to release python with current bindings. Since I have no python commit access, this seems a sensible approach. And I could do frequent pybssdb releases (let say, every couple of months) without waiting for a full python release (current approach). I see a lot of complains about bsddb3 in stdlib, spitting buildbot red status, and such. I want to help there. Just remember that I have no direct control over python svn and, although I spend last 28 years breathing computer programming (python since 1998), I'm a newbie in python-dev policies and procedures. PS: I have tried to sign the Python Contributor Agreement, but I am not sure about current pybsddb license terms.
