For example, in python{,3}.spec, we're trying to follow a certain style of patch naming to keep things consistent and it's very disconcerting when a proven packager who needs to fix something creates a patch that completely ignores this...

All members of the python-sig group have commit rights, no matter if
they are proven packagers or "just" members.

Hmm, maybe python{2,3}, pypy etc can be left out of the python-sig? I
really think that nobody of that group will touch the main python
package unless they really know what they do or file a bug instead...

I will. Thanks for all the feedback.
