I'm echoing a recent blog by Sylvain (http://www.logilab.org/blogentry/10055): 

After several months with no time to fix/enhance pylint beside answering email 
and filing tickets, I've finally tackled some tasks yesterday night to publish 
bug fixes releases ([`1`_] and [`2`_]).

The problem is that we don't have enough free time at Logilab to lower the 
number of tickets in pylint tracker page_ . 
If you take a look at the ticket tab, you'll see a lot of pendings bug and 
must-have features (well, and some other less necessary...).
You can already easily contribute thanks to the great mercurial_ dvcs, and 
some of you do, either by providing patches or by reporting bugs (more 
tickets, iiirk ! ;) Thank you all btw !!

Now I was wondering what could be done to make pylint going further, and the 
first ideas which came to my mind was :

* do ~3 days sprint
* do some 'tickets killing' days, as done in some popular oss projects

But for this to be useful, we need your support, so here are some questions 
for you:

* would you come to a sprint at Logilab (in Paris, France), so you can meet 
us, learn a lot about pylint, and work on tickets you wish to have in pylint?
* if France is too far away for most people, would you have another location 
to propose?
* would you be on jabber for a tickets killing day, providing it's ok with 
your agenda? if so, what's your knowledge of pylint/astng internals?
