We might want to publicize this fact a bit more -- over the term I've had
people come to me very surprised that just asking actually works.  I had
people who wanted subdomains of python.org who didn't realize you could get
them and thought I had some special inside track.  And the same with getting a
mailing list created, and with the idea of making a proposal of use of funds
to the PSF.  They were waiting for the PSF to issue a call for such things.

To everyone, if you need something from the PSF, put together a brief
justification and plan, and ask for their support.
