[python-committers] commit privileges for INADA Naoki

[Yury Selivanov]

Thank you guys. I'll send a detailed email to INADA, explaining most
basic things (and a link to devguide).  And sure thing, I'm OK with
mentoring.

Who should I ask to issue commit privileges / update bug tracker info for INADA?
