The original went through. You likely didn't get any responses because the proposal has text that is significantly longer than most other SoC proposals, and perhaps people just haven't had the time to read it yet. Also, I don't believe anyone else has posted the full text of their proposal publicly, usually it is "I would like to do this kind of thing, what do people think?".

If I were to summarize your proposal, it would be "merge, clean up, and add features to urllib, urllib2, and urlparse". Sounds reasonable for Python 3, but remember that you will need to update any standard library module that currently uses urllib, urllib2, and urlparse to make sure that they pass the test suite, probably add tests to the test suite for your new module, and include documentation (I can't remember if any of that was in your proposal).
