[Python-Dev] Two developer candidates

Great!  I have one reservation, but maybe I should be talked out of
it: I don't recall seeing patches submitted to SF by either of these.
Maybe we need to give them a trial period where they submit their work
to SF first?  Soon enough we'll see if they're worth giving commit
privileges based upon the volume of their output.

Or am I being too conservative?  It could be that the chore of
uploading to SF is enough of a deterrent to make these good folks
unproductive...  Chicken or egg, really.  Should we just go for it?
