Hi Mitja-

It is indeed an invitation.  Thank you for stepping up!  Most of the 
Python tagged bugs in the tracker are actually C++ bugs or wishlist 
items that deal with the Python interface.  I have in mind a few other 
ideas for Python coders who'd like to contribute.  I'll run them by the 
lead devs first and after buy-in, I'll coordinate with you offline to 
see which you are interested in.

We'll also see what we can do about explicitly encouraging Python 
contributions in the future.

Thanks again and I'll be in touch shortly!
-Seth
