Yeah, I agree with that. I had a significant feature included in the Python stdlib (os.scandir and related changes) and after it was included in 3.5, the core developers have made significant improvements to it (added "with statement" and "close" support, and so on), and I don't think I was contacted at all. I wouldn't have minded being contacted, but I'm actually quite happy I could write the initial proposal and feature and don't have to maintain it after that. :-)
