I’m new to Ansible but have been working with Python for years. If there’s anything that needs doing (documentation, features, whatever), I can jump in. Let me know!

Hi there,  
I’m new to Ansible and pretty new to Python. I’ve done one bugfix but have been waiting a few months for the first module I wrote to get reviewed and committed. I’m not sure you’ll be able to approve the module but if you had any comments as an experienced dev that would be helpful and hopefully will mean less work once my module gets to be reviewed by the community maintainers. See the following pull request. Would be really grateful if you could help!

Sorry about that lag time on that. On behalf of myself and the  
developer community, I'm sorry. That's unfortunately a side effect of  
a reality we face. It's a throughput problem of PRs vs community  
developer cycles. We're constantly working and trying to get better  
and more efficient (such as offloading more to the bot and CI sanity  
checks)

I'll review this one myself and try to do so in a timely manner.

Happy hacking,
