That is part of my complaint (or analysis), though: I certainly don't
expect that every user of Python or a Python port also is expert for
Python's internals. I would hope that a significant user community
would grow experts beyond the initial authors. This has happened for
Python, and this is also what Eric Raymond reports as the basis for
the "publish early, publish often" strategy. *Somebody* needs to get
involved, or contribute - else the author gets (rightfully, IMO) the
impression that he's left alone.
