[Victor Stinner]

Hi,

This guy rocks! He understood and fixed many subtle bugs like race
conditions recently. Example from the NEWS of Python 3.3:

- Issue #12060: Use sig_atomic_t type and volatile keyword in the signal
  module. Patch written by Charles-François Natali.

- Issue #11849: Make it more likely for the system allocator to release
  free()d memory arenas on glibc-based systems.  Patch by
Charles-François
  Natali.

- Issue #10517: After fork(), reinitialize the TLS used by the
PyGILState_*
  APIs, to avoid a crash with the pthread implementation in RHEL 5.
Patch
  by Charles-François Natali.

- Issue #11650: PyOS_StdioReadline() retries fgets() if it was
interrupted
  (EINTR), for example if the program is stopped with CTRL+z on Mac OS
X. Patch
  written by Charles-Francois Natali.

- Issue #11811: ssl.get_server_certificate() is now IPv6-compatible.
Patch
  by Charles-François Natali.	

- Issue #8428: Fix a race condition in multiprocessing.Pool when
terminating
  worker processes: new processes would be spawned while the pool is
being
  shut down.  Patch by Charles-François Natali.

- Issue #11757: select.select() now raises ValueError when a negative
timeout
  is passed (previously, a select.error with EINVAL would be raised).
Patch
  by Charles-François Natali.

etc.

I would to propose him to commit grant. What do you think?
