Thanks :-) I can't promise how *much* time I'll be able to give, but 
when I do have itches, I'll certainly be scratching them...

How does Python work w.r.t. to dev? I'm used to the branch/merge pattern:

- create branch, say chris.withers-issue4308
- do work on that branch
- request code review
- merge branch to appropriate release branches and trunk
- delete branch

If this isn't the pattern Python uses, why isn't it? ;-)

OK, although I'd prefer the branch/merge pattern, less toolage required...
