On the other hand, posting actual patches that fix actual bugs can make a lot of a difference. Also, having a maintainer who is willing to look into these patches and accept the good ones will make a lot of a difference.

With respect to the trace module, I started both of these things already, but I would really like to hear feedback from people interested in the future of pdb and profile modules as well. Antonio Cuni demoed some great improvements to the pdb module at EuroPython. A project called pdb++ http://codespeak.net/svn/user/antocuni/hack/pdb.py Among its improvements it includes the ability to debug through generator frames, which pdb can't. It would be great to see some of these fixes folded back into the standard library version.
