Given how high traffic python-checkins is I don't consider that a 
reasonable place to send follow-up and nor do I consider it the 
responsibility of committers to monitor it. As you said earlier this 
*isn't* in our standard dev procedures and nor do I think it should be. 
If you can't find an email address then either python-comitters or 
python-dev would be a better place to send feedback.
