As far as I can tell, all of those threads died out without any actual code being produced. However, they do give a good enumeration of what's wrong with the current cgi module and what's needed in a new module.
I guess the Web-SIG is the best place for any further discussion. http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/web-sig
As Steve notes, we've discussed this subject quite a bit. The next step is to form some more structured proposals, in the form of PEP submissions. These can then properly be considered on c.l.p. and python-dev. If folks want to contribute, they can review the past discussion, pick an area to write a PEP on (it would be polite to announce that on Web-SIG), write a proposal, and continue on with the process. This is starting to happen. Those on Web-SIG will see that Phillip Eby has submitted a pre-PEP on a Web Server Gateway Interface (WSGI), which is being discussed right now.
