Tarek is saying that Eric has already contributed substantially to 
distutils2, which may not be part of the standard library *yet* but will 
be and is being developed as a standard library module. Perhaps Tarek 
could link us to a couple of these contributions, or those concerned 
could look at the distutils2 commit log to see his contribution.

So long as Eric is prepared to commit to our standard procedures 
(discussion and patches on issues before commit and general caution and 
regard for backwards compatibility) I would like to see him given commit 
rights under the watchful eye of Tarek and those who review checkins. We 
could see this as an "experimental" commit access in line with the 
lowered barrier proposed by Guido.
