http://bugs.python.org/issue9055
is marked as a 2.7 issue only, perhaps fixed by Tim Golden's committed 
patches. Should it be re-versioned for 3.1/2? There is no patch file 
attached, though perhaps the code in Yamamoto's message is meant as such 
(but for which version?). So the first thing you could do is clarify the 
current status and remaining issue on the tracker.

http://bugs.python.org/issue9931
by Yamamoto is marked for all 3 versions. It seems to be a similar 
issue, though marked 'test' rather than 'ctypes'. It does have a patch 
by him apparently based on his previous comments. The issue has no 
responses and needs a patch review. So the first thing you could do is 
to provide one;-). If it looks great (no changes that you can think of) 
and works great, say so. Then it can move on to commit review stage.

PS. Providing links like the above makes it easier for multiple people 
to take a look and respond.
