I'd like to request that Stefan Krah be granted commit privileges to the Python svn repository, for the sole purpose of working on a (yet to be created) py3k-decimal-in-c branch.

+1. I haven't commented on any of this, but I've watched it, and Stefan appears easy enough to work with and does very high-quality work.

... (I'm not yet asking for a decision on whether the decimal module should be replaced with a C version;  that decision should be easier to make once Stefan's code is fully integrated into the branch, and we have some timings and benchmarks to show the performance benefit.  There are also various other questions about a C version of decimal that will eventually need to addressed, but I don't want to distract from the main point of this message.)

Me neither, which is why I repeated that part ;-) A development branch is exactly the right thing to do at this point, and Stefan needs commit privs to work on that.
