"white men", "women", "slave"... Personally I find this tendency quite worrying and discriminating and frankly I don't understand what it has to do with a programming language nor why it's emerging only recently. Whoever ends up in the council, approves a PEP, writes a patch, merges a PR... I think that person should be elected based *entirely* on their merits, not because of their gender or skin color. Electing someone just to represent a minority doesn't have anything to do with IT and cannot lead to a good outcome in the long run IMHO. -- Giampaolo - http://grodola.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ 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/
