This idea also comes from Brett Cannon who proposed something similar: https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-committers/2018-June/005526.html

If the core developer shows up, they will just have to ask a > GitHub administrator (like Brett Cannon) to be added again. > > My intent is to enhance security and better track of the current > number of active core developers. > > In practice, it should only mean removing these inactive developers > from the list of core developers on bugs.python.org. To make sure that > a developer can become again a core developer, we should track that we > dropped their priviledge. We can add new section in the devguide, > near: > https://devguide.python.org/developers/#permissions-dropped-on-request > > There are already two lists of inactive core developers in the > devguide: "Permissions Dropped on Request" and "Permissions Dropped > after Loss of Contact". > > I propose to start by removing all core developers who didn't migrate > to GitHub yet, since it's a simple way to check if they are active > since February 2017. > > I can work on a concrete list of developers, but it seems like it will > take me some time. Some developers are cores according to > bugs.python.org but I cannot find them in the devguide list. Some > developers are no longer core devs according to devguide, but still > core in bugs.python.org. There are some inconsistencies. > > 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/
