Finding a substitue Jack might be harder (though given Bob Ippolito's work rate at the moment we could probably make him MacPython maintainer without him noticing ).

Not that I'm planning to get run over by a tram shortly, but just in case: I think Just or Ronald or yourself or any various other python-devvers would make a better substitute at this point in time. Bob does some truly wonderful things at terrific speed, but that has some drawbacks for maintainability, IMHO. Being MacPython maintainer is 10% doing fun stuff and 90% taking care of all the nitty-gritty details, making everything work in as many situations as possible, documenting, etc etc etc.
