This does seem like a good use of the blog. The team is working on setting up the dev blog, and I expect to have something up soon. This can be our second post there (the first being an introduction).

Is there a "job description" for a ctypes maintainer? Where should we send people for more details about this request? We would link to the dev guide and this mailing list, but is there something more specific?
