By definition these 'potential new and unknown contributors' are discrete
and probably can't be characterized as a whole. However, seeing myself
as one of the discrete elements in that group, I think it's worthwhile for me
to pipe in here and say that I won't be 'offended' or think of it as nepotism
if someone gets foo-privilege before I do because he happens to know core
developer (some other 'potential new contributer' lurking here feels otherwise?
- speak up!).

I don't know the community (yet) and I can't say this for sure, but my current
gut feeling about the Python community (and pretty much any OSS I can think
of) is that in the long run, I'll be judged on merit just like any other guy, no
matter who they know.
