A quick refresher on this since DEP 10 governance is still quite new: Mergers have no special decision-making privileges -- being a Merger, while important for the project, is not equivalent to the former "committer"/"core" status, and is not used as an honor or as a reward for past service or contributions.
The process for appointing a Merger or Releaser is: * Anyone may suggest a candidate * However, only a member of the Technical Board can formally nominate someone to be a Merger or Releaser * The nomination is then confirmed or rejected by public vote of the Technical Board * Because an election of the Technical Board has been triggered (by acceptance of DEP 10), any appointment made by the current Technical Board expires after the election unless the newly-elected Technical Board confirms it -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers (Contributions to Django itself)" group.
