If you can submit a measurably faster csv implementation to cpython (without breaking existing code of course) I can guarantee it will be welcome whether you’re a first time contributor or not. Not sure about your definition of “more flexible”, if that entails breaking existing code then it may rightfully meet resistance.
Not sure why you’re implying other languages’ proposal processes are about pleasing a single core developer or playing some politics game. Sounds like either you have a lot more experience than I do and hence have been exposed to politics games or anything else non-meritocratic (that I haven’t sensed in CPython development, at least), or you just don’t have as much experience contributing to other languages.
(I'm a bit cranky today. Sorry if I sound aggressive.)
