[Python-Dev] what is happening with the regex module going into Python 3.3?

[Nick Coghlan]

I apologise, "unmaintained" is too strong a word. I mean "lacking an owner
sufficiently confident in their authority and expertise and with sufficient
time and energy to add,or approve the addition of, substantial new features
which may require significant refactoring of internal details".

Perhaps "unowned" would be a better word? Saying yes or no to major feature
requests isn't the same as fixing errors in existing features. (Compare
regular email package maintenance to RDM's recent updates)
