Hello,
In May, I submitted a pull request that extends the functionality of
argparse.ArgumentParser.
The argparse maintainer, bethard (Peter Bethard), was not added to the
nosy list. And he does not seem to have been active lately -- his bpo
profile does not list a github name.
To do so, I followed the steps described in the developers guide.
According to [1], I already pinged at GitHub but got no response. The
next step seems to be writing to this list.
I know that nobody is payed for reviewing submissions, but maybe it just
got overlooked?
You can find the pull request at [2].
[1] https://docs.python.org/devguide/pullrequest.html#reviewing
[2] https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/1698
Some core developer has to decide if the new feature should be added,
and if so, what the API should be. If Peter is not doing that, I don't
know who will. It is possible that the current design is intentional,
rather than an oversight. It does not make too much sense to review the
implementation (the PR) until the design decisions are made. In this
case, the PR adds a feature not discussed on the bpo issue.
The bulk of the work on argparse in recent years has been done by
paul.j3. I have no idea whether or not he is classed as a core developer.
