I wonder: is this the right question to ask? There are contributors who will never become core developers. It's not a failure. How many of us actually hoped or expected to become a core developer when they started contributing? The real issue is not that the step is hard to climb, but that it is hard to get people interested in climbing that step (and continue being active afterwards, even though the step has been climbed). It is to get people interested in the tasks and responsibilities (sometimes annoyances) of being a core developer. > It's not because you give the commit bit contributors that they will > become very active.

I don't think the latter works any better than the former :-) > A contributor without the triage priviledge cannot triage bugs... Yes, so it's more a question of giving them the tools necessary to do what they want to do. Not of giving them an award or a privilege :-) Regards Antoine. _______________________________________________ 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/
