I like to ignore the technical issues for now and concentrate on the
legal and organizational problems.

In order to get sh.py into Python's stdlib you have to relicense and
donate the code under the PSF license. You and every contributor must
agree on the relicensing. At least you must submit a signed contributor
agreement, maybe every contributor. Are you able to get hold of everybody?

Are you willing to maintain your code for several years, at least five
years or more?
