>>> Issue #11750: The Windows API functions scattered in the _subprocess and >>> _multiprocessing.win32 modules now live in a single module "_winapi". >>> Patch by sbt. >> >> Can we use Real Names, please? > > Do we have a policy about that? sbt seems happy using a pseudonym (and > I personally don't have a problem with it). We would have to ask a lawyer. Apparently, he signed a form, and presumably, that can be traced to a real person. However, we need to be extremely careful not to accept anonymous contributions, as then barrier to contribute stolen code is much lower. It took Linux a ten year copyright lawsuit to go through this; I don't want this to happen for Python. In any case, the real policy is that we should not accept significant changes without a contributor form. I, myself, feel extremely uncomfortable dealing with pseudonyms in the net, more so since I committed code from (and, IIRC, gave commit rights to) Reinhold Birkenfeld. Of course, the issue is different when you *know* it's pseudonym (and no, I have no bad feelings towards Georg about this at all). Regards, Martin
