And aren't some of these libraries developed by 3rd parties?
Any library to replace tkinter would come from a third party, yes.
And how is that handled by the people in charge?
Again, there aren't really people 'in charge' on this. Whoever wanted
to push for this would have to do the legwork to make sure that the
library on offer was good enough to win a lot of support from the
community, was cross-platform, etc. They'd also have to convince
someone with commit privs that it was a great idea, convince the rest
of the dev group not to oppose it.
... and that they'd forevermore support it, which is likely to be as
much of an obstacle. I suspect that's why even established libraries
like PIL, numpy, mxDateTime or win32all never made it into the standard
library.
