You don't have to keep writing notes to python-dev on this patch. It is assigned to me and when I get a chance to go through it in detail, it has a good likelihood of going in (if no issues arise).

I've significantly re-worked the patch to permit globals to be arbitrary mappings. The regression tests continue to all pass.

I see no reason, except perhaps the lack of volunteers to actually patch the repository (along with the accompanying work). Regards, Martin
