[issue23193] Please support "numeric_owner" in tarfile

[Michael Vogt]

Michael Vogt added the comment:

Thanks everyone for the comments and feedback!

Attached is a updated patch with tests and a documentation update. 

Feedback is very welcome. I decided to skip the test on systems where root is not uid,gid=0. I could also mock that of course if you prefer it this way.

Thanks,
 Michael
