Or, from the other side, what's preventing Barry to collaborate with
Matthias *right now*, without waiting? I can't find signs of any
Barry's contributions in the Debian changelogs for Python interpreters
or -defaults packages (but there was some minor fixups in Ubuntu in
the past).
Since we are at it, there are recurring problems reappearing:
- python2.6 removal willingness was only reported to debian-release
[1] (opinionatedly late in the development process) without any
collaboration/coordination (request) with python modules/apps team.
- python2.7 (a security-fix release, which is outdated since 20 days,
like python3.2, while Ubuntu had them uploaded even before the
official availability announce[2]) is keeping FTBFS in mips while on
GNU/kFreeBSD was fixed by a NMU helping those archs catching up, as
confirmed by release team on irc.

History repeating?
