I would like to hear Guido's opinion today about this. Python's development is not the same as it was 10 years ago, and the world has changed too. > I think Jesse has pointed us to some very satisfactory potential > solutions. I also think you are making a mountain out of a molehill. The reason I am making a mountain out of a slightly oversized molehill is that otherwise it seems people here don't care to solve the issue, and instead keep patronizing about how the current process is fine (which it is!... as long as it isn't actually applied...). > Electronic forms are easier to deal with, but I seriously doubt their > absence has lost as much development effort as the total collective > developer time already expended on this thread :-) Well, I agree that not so much development effort has been lost because of us checking contributor agreements, but I think there's a reason, and you might not like it.
