I'd like to jump in and vouch for Chris. I've known him for many years<br>
and while we haven't worked closely I expect he'd be a valuable<br>
contributor. So +1 from me for giving Chris commit privileges for core<br>
Python. <br>

Thanks :-) I can't promise how *much* time I'll be able to give, but when I do have itches, I'll certainly be scratching them...<div class="im"><br>

(Chris, I assume you'll go through an apprentice phase where<br>
you'll be letting another committer review your changes before you<br>
commit them yourself. <br>

How does Python work w.r.t. to dev? I'm used to the branch/merge pattern:<br>
<br>
- create branch, say chris.withers-issue4308<br>
- do work on that branch<br>
- request code review<br>
- merge branch to appropriate release branches and trunk<br>
- delete branch<br>
<br>
If this isn't the pattern Python uses, why isn't it? ;-)<div class="im"></div></blockquote><div><br>Because Python started out on CVS and then moved to svn and just never picked up the branching religion. But there is nothing wrong with creating a branch in the sandbox and doing work there; just isn't common practice for anything that isn't going to be a long term project.<br>

Rietveld at <a href="http://codereview.appspot.com" target="_blank">codereview.appspot.com</a> should be<br>
helpful for getting your code reviewed. (Just use upload.py instead of<br>
the Create Issue form. :-)<br>

<br></div>
OK, although I'd prefer the branch/merge pattern, less toolage required...</blockquote><div><br>Right, but that still doesn't preclude the usefulness of being able to leave comments in Rietveld for a reviewer.<br>
