Funny you should bring that up. The folks on python-dev are currently
making a substantial push to increase involvement in python core
development through the "Python Mentors" program.
Site here:
http://pythonmentors.com/
To quote from the site:
"""
The mission of the Python Core Mentor Program is to provide an open and
welcoming place to connect students, programmers – and anyone interested
in contributing to the Python Core development. This project is based on
the idea that the best way to welcome new people into any project is a
venue which connects them to a variety of mentors who can assist in
guiding them through the contribution process, including discussions on
lists such as python-dev, and python-ideas, the bug tracker, mercurial
questions, code reviews, etc.
"""
So anyone following along this thread, if you're interested in making a
genuine contribution to python as a language, this is a great time and
place to start.
