----- Original Message -----
For the last 3 years I've been paid by Red Hat to work on Python runtimes within Fedora (and RHEL).
I'm still going to be around, but I'm going to be focusing on the gcc work I've been doing. Bohuslav "Slavek" Kabrda (bkabrda@redhat.com) will be spending more of his time on Python, and I believe RH is also planning to assign some more people to Python.
Hence RH has created a "python-maint@redhat.com" address to be "the team within Red Hat who work on Python", which currently is myself and Slavek, and probably some more RH employees. (I believe we have a similar thing in place for the kernel).
Currently I'm marked as owner of 24 packages in Fedora (and EPEL), but I've been fairly free in handing out commit rights to people who want them:
RunSnakeRun -- GUI Viewer for Python profiling runs gcc-python-plugin -- Plugins for embedding various versions of Python within GCC gdb-heap -- Extensions to gdb for debugging dynamic memory allocation perl-Class-CSV -- Class based CSV parser/writer pypy -- Python implementation with a Just-In-Time compiler python -- An interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language python-docs -- Documentation for the Python programming language. python-meliae -- Python memory usage statistics python-numarray -- Python array manipulation and computational library python-pefile -- Python module for working with Portable Executable files python-rdflib -- Python library for working with RDF python-six -- Python 2 and 3 compatibility utilities python-sqlparse -- Non-validating SQL parser for Python python-squaremap -- SquareMap for wxPython python-subprocess32 -- Backport of subprocess module from Python 3.2 to Python 2 python-testosterone -- Text-based UI for running Python unit tests python-xmltramp -- Pythonic API for XML python26 -- Parallel-installable Python 2.6 for EPEL5 python26-distribute -- the "Distribute" fork of setuptools for the python26 EPEL package python26-nose -- The "nose" testing package for the python26 EPEL package python3 -- Version 3 of the Python programming language aka Python 3000 python3-cherrypy -- Pythonic, object-oriented web development framework python3-postgresql -- Connect to PostgreSQL with Python 3 squeal -- Data manipulation tool for the command line
I'd like to reassign "owner" on almost all of these from "dmalcolm" to the python-maint address, the exceptions being 3 that are particularly close to my heart:
- gcc-python-plugin
- gdb-heap
- squeal
I'll take RunSnakeRun and pypy. :)
