I got reply from Anatoly. Short summary is:
1. He don't want to sign Licence Agreement by some reasons (not clean
to me. Looks like his objections are not showstopper for every another
contributor).
2. He don't want to work on patches due lack of free time/interest and
not enough experience level.
3. He like to protect hard his opinion unless 100% sure he is wrong.
and
4. He want to be helpful for Python and community

Looks like points 1-3 are opposite to point 4 :)
