As I recall, I made the suggestion and you volunteered me to do it :)
Unfortunately, I didn't have the spare cycles at the time.

I've started the process of creating a sourceforge project, and I'll
upload my version of IDLE into CVS once it exists.  However, I don't
currently have time to do much work on IDLE either, so I hope other people
are interested in being developers.  I will give anyone who asks developer
or admin access.
