[Python-checkins] Fwd: Python-checkins post from webhook-mailer at python.org requires approval

[Terry Reedy]

Some years ago I was added to python-checkins as a moderator, but not a 
full list owner, to occasionally discard the very occasional spam.  I 
don't know who the real list owner is, if anyone.

Recently, checkins from Łukasz Langa are being held.  I have no idea 
why, or what implicit destination means.

Whoever understands this part of the infrastructure and know how to fix 
this should do do. I will not continue to approve these on anything like 
a timely basis.

This list should have a knowledgable list owner who pays attention to 
proper checkins improperly held for moderation.

+Pickle protocol 5 with out-of-band data buffers
+-----------------------------------------------
+
+When :mod:`pickle` is used to transfer large data between Python processes
+in order to take advantage of multi-core or multi-machine processing,
+it is important to optimize the transfer by reducing memory copies, and
+possibly by applying custom techniques such as data-dependent compression.
+
+The :mod:`pickle` protocol 5 introduces support for out-of-band buffers
+where :pep:`3118`-compatible data can be transmitted separately from the
+main pickle stream, at the discretion of the communication layer.
+
+See :pep:`574` for a full description.
