Is Peter Astrand still actively maintaining the module? I've been assigning subprocess bugs to him on the theory that he'll fix them. If he's not around, we can apply patches to subprocess. (The problem with subprocess in particular would be the difficulty of testing changes that affect both Windows and POSIX code; I think relatively few developers use both Windows and Unix.)

We have the buildbots to help with this.

We should also try to make an effort to go through the tracker and look for bug fixes and patches suitable for 2.5.1.

Definitely! I only did a really quick review. If you want someone to think about any of these, assign them to me with a priority of 9. I'll discuss with others and see if the fixes should go in to 2.5.1 or not.
