FYI: I have sent out the Python Code Developer status inquiries to
these core developers, which have not committed to the CPython
Github repo in the last two years and for which we don't have
a status answer using the new inactivity reply feature in the
voter roll script yet:

     Alex Martelli
     Alexandre Vassalotti
     Amaury Forgeot d'Arc
     Armin Ronacher
     Christian Tismer
     David Malcolm
     David Wolever
     Doug Hellmann
     Eli Bendersky
     Fred Drake
     Georg Brandl
     Hynek Schlawack
     Jack Diederich
     Jack Jansen
     Jeremy Hylton
     Kurt B. Kaiser
     Lars Gustäbel
     Marc-André Lemburg
     Mark Hammond
     Martin Panter
     Matthias Klose
     Meador Inge
     PJ Eby
     Petri Lehtinen
     Philip Jenvey
     Sandro Tosi
     Sjoerd Mullender
     Steven D'Aprano
     Thomas Heller
     Tim Golden
     Trent Nelson

For some more background, please have a look at the ticket
https://github.com/python/voters/issues/16 and the associated
PR https://github.com/python/voters/pull/25

I used the email addresses from the python-core.toml file and
will collect replies in the next two weeks and collect them
in this PR: https://github.com/python/voters/pull/30
This can then be merged before creating the final voter roll
for the election.

PS: I attached the mail merge template I used for the emails below.

Cheers,

Dear {{FullName}},

we are about to have the yearly vote on the Python Steering Council
and as part of PEP 13, we have to define the voter roll based on
the active core developers:

    https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0013/

PEP 13 suggests that core developers who have not been active in the
last two years may be asked to declare themselves as "inactive".

The script which is used to build the voter roll for the election
uses Github commits to determine whether a core developer was active
or not. You can find the details and code in this private repo:

    https://github.com/python/voters

You are receiving this email, because the script has determined
that you have not issued a commit to the CPython repo in the last
two years.

Since we know that this approach is not perfect and there are
other ways a core developer can contribute, we're sending this
email to ask you whether you want to declare yourself inactive
or not.

Updating your status
--------------------

There are three ways to respond in case you want to not be
declared inactive and lose voting rights.

1. You edit the file python-core.toml in the repo
(https://github.com/python/voters/blob/master/python-core.toml)
and include a line

inactive_reply = "stay active" # last updated 2020-11-xx
or
inactive_reply = "make inactive" # last updated 2020-11-xx

in your [[core-dev]] section, depending on what you'd like to
set as your status.

2. You reply to this email and ask to update the above file to
the desired setting.

3. You don't do anything, which we will then interpret as meaning
that you'd like to be declared inactive.

We will wait two weeks, until Nov 25, to decide how to proceed.
If you don't respond, we will add an entry to the above file
listing the missing reply.

Core developers who declare themselves inactive or don't reply
will not receive a ballot for the upcoming election.

Note that the status can be changed again for future
elections, so things are not set in stone.

Election timeline
-----------------

As a reminder, here's the timeline for this year's election:

* The nomination period will begin Nov 1, 2020
* Nomination period will end Nov 15, 2020
* Voting will begin Dec 1, 2020
* Voting will end Dec 15, 2020

Nominations are collected via https://discuss.python.org/.


Many thanks.

Best Regards,
