Hmm... the core development team (those who make commits once a month or 
more frequently) is very small, the number of people doing bug triaging 
is currently good but also small. We have patches and issues in the 
tracker that may have responses but will never get properly looked at 
because no-one on the core team is interested or has the mental 
bandwidth, we have possibly hundreds of modules in the standard library 
without a maintainer.

I think it is very much in the interest of Python to evolve our 
processes in order to encourage more core-developers. Evolving means 
experimenting *and* being willing to change. It is certainly less 
*effort* to accept the status quo, but with several more committed and 
enthusiastic (and good) core developers there is an awful lot (more) we 
could achieve.

All the best,

Michael Foord
