Kaiser Lars Gustäbel Marc-Andre Lemburg Mark Hammond Martin Panter Meador Inge Michael Hudson-Doyle Petri Lehtinen Philip Jenvey Sandro Tosi Sjoerd Mullender Thomas Heller Trent Nelson Some of these look inactive indeed. Some I personally consider "emeritus" core-devs, given the central role they played historically within Python (Alex Martelli just to name one) and I don't see why they should be removed. Many of these even appear to be active on bugs.python.org or on python-* MLs today. Some are being listed in devguide/experts.rst as maintainers of stdlib modules. So I really don't understand the logic being used here. At the very least they deserved to be asked / notified privately before being removed. -- Giampaolo - http://grodola.blogspot.com
