Two years ago, Eli Bendersky submitted to the tracker one of several
duplicate reports about problems with difflib.SequenceMatcher. After I
consolidated and closed all issues but one, he wrote me, said he wanted
to get more involved in Python development, and offered to help with
that and other issues. Since then he has actively participated in 34
issues, submitting 1 or more patches to 20 issues, listed below. Of
those, 14 are closed. I believe his work always or nearly always
contributed to the commit. Another has been committed to 3.2 and is only
open for backports and possible tweaks. Another is waiting for 3.3,
another for my response. His activity has covered core, library, and doc
issues. He can work on C, Python, and .rst code and text He has shown
himself to be a careful reader of both code and text. He has also
participated a bit on pydev.
I believe he said last September, in private email in response to my
query, that he would like full developer privileges 'someday'. Before I
reviewed his tracker activity, I was merely going to recommend that we
'start thinking about' a promotion. But then I discovered that he had
done much I did not know about, as several developers (me, Alexander B,
Georg B. Eric A, Michael F., ...) have done commits involving his
patches. So I now think, 'why wait?' I am confident that he will start
with whatever cautions he is given, with issues that are either trivial
or that have been reviewed by others.
