Sure.  I might even be able to mentor someone.

My current shortlist is eryksun and paul.j3.  I've finally got time to
monitor the bugs a bit more now, so I hope I'll notice some others in
a while.

Assuming Paul is interested, I could be his mentor, if others agree his
patches are good enough.  I'd like other people to actually look...it's
been a while since I've reviewed any of his patches, or the design
decisions he's advocating with respect to argparse.  (Steven appears to
be awol.)

--David

PS: with respect to Victor's script wish, one of the reasons I'm suggesting
paul.j3 is that very few of his patches have been committed, and they
should be.
