If there's a consensus on that, my simplejson [1] implementation  
could migrate to the stdlib for 2.6.

The API is modeled after marshal and pickle, the code should be PEP 8  
compliant, its test suite has pretty good coverage, it's already used  
by (at least) TurboGears and Django, and it's the implementation  
currently "endorsed by" json.org.

The work that would be required would be:

- LaTeX docs (currently reST in docstrings)
- Move the tests around and make them run from the suite rather than  
via nose
- Possible module rename (jsonlib?)
