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).
Actually, this is supposed to be for RHEL stuff, not Fedora. I think we should just continue on per-package basis in Fedora (at least that was my original intention).
OK. I think I missed this earlier, which was why I was mistakenly reassigning Fedora python bugs to that address. Sorry about that; I'll stop doing that now.
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:

So if it's ok with you, I can take python, python3 (I'm working on them anyway) and python-six (because I like it :)).
I've now (finally) orphaned those 3 packages in the Fedora packagedb, so please go ahead and claim them.

Thank you Dave, you did a great job with Python! I think we all hope to still have you around :)
Thanks!
