Then if you care, connect. It's not hidden if you have the power to access it.

Here's a suggestion: Fork Python (that's legal, that's what open
source means) and start development using the model you advocate. If
it's massively better than what's happening, (a) developers will flock
to your model, and (b) the project could be completely handed over to
you, as happened with GCC.

Or alternatively, explain to us here what the real advantages are of
your new model. So far, what I've seen is "hey, here's an idea", and
not "here's what this idea will do to benefit Python"; and the idea
itself looks more suited to a big business than to open source. Maybe
someone who's actually used Agile will know what's so wonderful about
it, but unless every core dev *has*, a bit of explanation will help.
