Is there any interest in including a simple microthreading module in Python's standard library? Basically, the list of things you need to do (typically, these are just guidelines) are: 1. Write it 2. Get the community to use it and like it 3. Make it follow PEP 7/8 style guidelines 4. Write docs 5. Write tests 6. Promise to help maintain the code.

Let me amplify step 2 a bit: once you get your code to the stage where it's usable by other people, upload it to PyPI, announce it on c.l.py.a and other appropriate places, and go through several rounds of improvements and updates based on feedback and bug reports.
