Hi Lars.

Thanks for all your work on tarfile!

Please send your ssh2 key to pydotorg at python.org as an attachment.
One of us will add your key.  Hopefully I can remember how to do it.
Here's some other info:  http://www.python.org/dev/faq/#subversion-svn

I can't add you to SF to be assigned bugs since I'm not an admin.  So
hopefully one of the admins can either add me as an admin or you as a
developer.

I already updated Misc/developers.txt.
