If you don't have any local core devs, you can try to recruit a remote
one via core-mentorship and/or #python-dev on irc (we used hangout
successfully to include me in the DC sprint).  But you don't *need* even
that level of core dev participation to make progress on
reviewing/updating/fixing bugs, just to get the results committed, which
can happen later.
