[Python-Dev] Goals for patch selection for 2.1.2

[Martin von Loewis]

Hi Anthony,

Your write-up of management principles for 2.1.2 sounds very reasonable,
I think all these principles should be enforced.

One open issue would be to come up with a release schedule. Should
you restrict yourself to patches that also appear in 2.2 (perhaps in
a back-ported fashion), or will you give a deadline for new patches
to come in? If the former, I think releasing 2.1.2 around the time
that 2.2 is released (perhaps earlier) would be desirable.

Thanks for volunteering,
Martin
