Not that I'm planning to get run over by a tram shortly, but just in
case: I think Just or Ronald or yourself or any various other 
python-devvers
would make a better substitute *at this point in time*. Bob does some
truly wonderful things at terrific speed, but that has some drawbacks
for maintainability, IMHO. Being MacPython maintainer is 10% doing fun
stuff and 90% taking care of all the nitty-gritty details, making 
everything work
in as many situations as possible, documenting, etc etc etc.
