I think it's fine to add this.

Hey all,

I've been reviewing old "awaiting review" PRs recently, and about a week ago I found PR #7605 <https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/7605>, adding shlex.join(), with a corresponding bug at bpo-22454 <https://bugs.python.org/issue22454>. The PR's implementation is simple and seems reasonable and decently well-tested, but it has been unreviewed for ~10 months. The reason I'm bringing it up here is that I believe the major blocker here is getting agreement to actually add the function. There doesn't seem to be much opposition in the BPO issue, but given how infrequently the shlex module is changed I'm worried that there may be no one around who feels confident to judge how the interface should evolve. Does anyone feel strongly about this issue? Is there anyone who wants to make a yes/no decision on this feature? Best, Paul P.S. The PR's submitter seems responsive. I made a comment on the documentation and it was addressed in something like 5 minutes.
