Well, I have no functions than I'm lobbying to get into the stdlib, but 
for all those handy-dandy utility functions, decorators, and classes, I 
have a cookbook package that I add them to.  Mine currently looks like this:

cookbook
     __init__.py
     decorators.py
     meters.py
     simplegeneric.py
     utils.py
     collections
         __init__.py
         NamedTuple.py
         RecordType.py
