Sometimes you just have to ask.  The PSF is looking for worthy projects to
fund, and setuptools has come up in conversation several times as a candidate
important to the Python community overall.  You'd have to write up a detailed
proposal of what you can get accomplished for X dollars, but if you get
between projects, you really ought to consider it.
