Brett Cannon used to (still does?) prepare twice monthly summaries of 
activity on python-dev which provided insight as to what was happening 
on that side of things.  I don't know if he or anyone else still does 
so, but if so, a copy to this list would at least let everyone know if 
something was happening that you might want to weigh in on.
