FWIW, that's what I initially did :). As I had mentioned on my first email,
I proposed the project to Martin Löwis, after he sent an email apropos his
migration attempt to the python-3000 list, and he suggested that I submitted
it to Django developers, which I thought made sense. I don't think it'd
benefit only Python, but that's been discussed already.

As a matter of fact, yes. Of course, you have no way of knowing this will
actually happen (neither have I, obviously, apart from my intentions).

That's what I intend to do, but of course I won't be able to devote as much
time to it.
In any event, by now it's pretty clear that my proposal isn't all that
popular, so I'm retracting it. Thanks for all the feedback! I'll be lurking
around :)
Cheers,
