Hmmmm.... I think the fact that three different people have stepped up to the plate to handle bugfix releases is a feature. In addition, three releases in six months does not a long-term trend make. As Barry said, if there's a problem with PEP6, I'd love to know about it; other than that, there haven't IMO been enough Python releases and patches to warrant more bugfix releases than have occurred or are on the plate.

Good work so far!
