Hi,

I decided to give more responsibilities to Zackery Spytz as a reward
for his hard commitment over the last year and a half into Python: I
gave him the bug triage permission.

He managed to get not less than 111 changes merged into the master
branch since February 2018!

https://github.com/python/cpython/pulls/ZackerySpytz

He usually document properly his change and add new tests. He is not
afraid of touching the C code base and working in the dark Python
internals. He also likes to get reviews, and updates his change to
take comments in account.

Example of changes.

bpo-37007: Implement socket.if_nametoindex(), if_indextoname() and
if_nameindex() on Windows
https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/13522

bpo-26836: Add os.memfd_create()
https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/13567

bpo-33407: Implement Py_DEPRECATED() on MSVC
https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/8980

bpo-32941: Add madvise() for mmap objects
https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/6172

He also fixed numerous bugs all around the code base, making Python
more stable and safer to use!

I sent Zackery instructions how to triage bug and links into the devguide.
I required him to ask me before closing a bug. I also offered to
mentor him for 1 month, to help him to handle his new
responsibilities.

Congrats Zackery ;-) (I added him in copy of this email)

Victor
