Authors of separately maintained packages are, from our viewpoint, as eligible to help with tracker issues as anyone else, even while they continue work on their external package. Some of them are more likely than most contributors to have the knowledge needed for some particular issues.

This is a good idea. I was chatting w. Senthil this morning about adding improvements to urllib/request.py based upon ideas from urllib3, requests, httplib2 (?), and we came to the conclusion that it might be a good idea to let those packages' authors review the proposed stdlib improvements.
