That may or may not be the case, but if it is, the best way to argue
the point is:

1) Find or create a third-party package on PyPI
2) Demonstrate that this package has a stable API
3) Demonstrate or pledge support for the package
4) Appeal for the package's inclusion in the stdlib

You'll need to show that there's benefit to having it in the stdlib as
opposed to on PyPI - demonstrate the problem with "pip install
packagename" that means that you want it in the standard library. Just
*stating* that there is a need isn't sufficient - you need to prove
it.
