I’m not going to respond to the actual content of this, but I’d like to make a plea. If you think someone should be a core on one of the PyPA projects, I recommend talking to one of the existing core developer privately instead of posting publicly. Historically these projects decide on core members privately so that people’s concerns or comments on potential core members are not public. This is done for three main reasons: 1) By keeping things private core members can fully express their opinions on whether or not that person is a good candidate for core member, or whether they might be in the future if they work on something that is potentially concerning. 2) It doesn’t put any potential core members in a situation where they are feeling judged or on trial or whatever colloquium you want to insert here. 3) It allows us to privately communicate with the potential team member about what (if anything) they need to improve on if they’d like to be a core member. We don’t have defined guidelines as to what we look for in a core team member, perhaps we should, generally though it’s been looking out for people who seem to be trying to help out with the efforts that are lacking manpower. Just to be clear, this has nothing to do with either Xavier or Marc, I’m just asking that in the future if someone thinks that they notice someone who might be a good candidate for being on the core team. --- Donald Stufft PGP: 7C6B 7C5D 5E2B 6356 A926 F04F 6E3C BCE9 3372 DCFA
