I propose to promote Stefan Behnel (aka scoder on the tracker and

Have you asked Stefan if he would like the privilege, accept it, and
would at least occasionally use it?
Perhaps not one from us is surprised that
he is not yet a core developer.
I'm not. While it might benefit us if he were more active with the
core, I presume that he has chosen to remain focused on Cython and lxml
and has never asked to become one. Hence my question above.
Stefan is a core developer of Cython and
lxml, two important projects in Python ecosystem. He is a coauthor of
PEP 489. His first patch is dated by 2010. He is not so active as other
candidates in writing patches (I have counted less than 20 of his
commits), but he is active on the bug tracker and mailing lists
(reported 95 issues and commented much more). His expertise in
XML-related issues was very important. He is assigned as an expert for
the xml.etree package.
In other words, he has been more active with the core than most other
'ecosystem' developers and thus seems like a better candidate than most
to join the core, even if his main focus remains on cython and lxml.
Maybe you can add more about Stefan's merits. This is just what I know
personally. I worked a much with him and have very good impression about
him.
So do I from what I have read of his posts.
Ah, and the PSF also just granted him their quarterly community service
award for
2019-Q1. https://www.python.org/community/awards/psf-awards/#march-2019
