In preparation for Pycon and the sprints I quickly pulled together a doc explaining how people can help out with Python's development: http://www.python.org/dev/contributing/ . -Brett P.S.: Just so people know, I will be taking a month or two off from Python development (i.e. heavy coding) after PyCon to redo my father's web site and simply to take a slight breather after all the importlib stuff. Plan to keep plugging away at the DVCS PEP, though.
