This is for developers *of* Python. Doug is just offering to link to
your personal account. We are setting up a "Development of Python"
blog which will feature content from CPython, PyPy, etc. Think of it
as an announcement location for new/interesting changes. Some of
which, yes, might be cross posted to individual authors' blogs
depending on if they feel it warrants it.

Think of this as a place to say "Hey, we just changed the CAPI to be
incompatible with 3.2!" or "PyPy discovered how to bend space time,
and is now faster than pure ASM".

It's a blog for language development, not general development-with-the
language - heck, maybe some of the cooler python-ideas proposals could
see the light of day on it.
