Yes, sorry, that's what I meant to suggest; poor wording on my part. But this 
is why the list will get published for people to help point out mistakes. :)

Let's say someone made all of their commits from 2015-07-04 to 2015-10-04 (and 
when I say "commits" I mean committing or authoring in git terms). That means 
they committed over a span of less than 3 months over the entire history of the 
cpython repo and that the last commit was more than 2 years ago. In that 
instance I'm suggesting we drop the person as chances are they were probably a 
GSoC student or a sprinter who tried things out but quickly walked away.

Or put another way, I'm arguing that if you spent less than 3 months making 
commits to cpython over two years ago you were probably not someone who got 
promoted to being a core developer through the normal promotion process.
