Hello,

I am a semi-regular contributor for Python: I have contributed many patches since end of last year, some of them were reviewed by Antoine. Semi-regular is quite humble. You have been cranking out patches at a higher frequency than almost any of us in the last 3 months. We are exhausted of reviewing and (most of the time) committing your patches :) (fortunately, your work happens to be of consistently good quality)

Agreed, I'd been thinking this may be deserved based on the number of "patch by Florent Xicluna" commit messages I had seen go by on the checkins list.

The usual caveats apply though: - don't get carried away with the privileges - even core devs still put patches on the tracker sometimes - if in doubt, ask for advice on python-dev (or IRC) - make sure to subscribe to python-checkins

The last point covers the fact that most checkin messages will get an after-the-fact review from other developers and those comments usually go straight to the checkins list.

Cheers, Nick.
