I have asked that question before on python-dev... Greg seems to
be offline or way to busy (like many of us) to respond to questions.

As for the repository: distutils is part of Python 2.0 CVS tree, so
Python developers should be able to commit changes to the distutils
tree too. I'd rather have Greg's OK for this first, though, since
he owns the code.

BTW, to check out the module as developer, run this command:

cvs -z3 -d<devname>@cvs.python.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/python co distutils

Changes to distutils will also have to be applied to the Python 2.0
CVS tree (Lib/distutils).
