I asked Xiang once on IRC if he would be interested to become a core, and yes, he is interested. During the sprint, we discussed potential new core developers. Xiang was proposed, but one or two people said that he doesn't know well enough the workflow, or something like that. So I waited for 2 months. If you look at the Mercurial history, many Xiang's patches were merged recently: Nov 6, Nov 4, Oct 30, Oct 25, Oct 23, Oct 22, Oct 17, Oct 16, Oct 13, Oct 9, Oct 8, Oct 2, Oct 1, Sept 27, etc. Maybe Xiang needs a longer mentoring period than 1 month, but I want to keep him motivated. Active contributors (even inside core developers) are rare, so we always need fresh blood :-) Statistics on commits on the last 12 months: https://github.com/python/cpython/graphs/contributors?from=2015-11-15&to=2016-11-15&type=c Victor _______________________________________________ python-committers mailing list python-committers@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-committers Code of Conduct: https://www.python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
