Follow the suggestion to join the core-mentorship list. I will just add 
here that issues are 'assigned' for review and commitment to one of the 
core developers with commit rights to the python.org repository. Anyone 
can submit a patch to the tracker. It is ok to post that you are working 
on an issue, if indeed you are. Perhaps about half the commits involve 
contributions from non-core developers.
