There clearly are some folks who care enough about IDLE to submit bug reports and fixes. How about we empower these people by giving at least one of them commit privileges? IDLE development has often been done by people who aren't otherwise contributing to the core, and we surely should trust those folks with commit privileges.

Can I take a really big liberty and volunteer Terry Reedy for the job.

It doesn't work that way. You can't volunteer somebody else (*).

If Terry would volunteer himself, he'd get commit access in no time.

Regards, Martin

(*) so when you assign bugs to me, it probably means that they get less attention, not more.
