The info in PEP 101 is very specialized and we have enough trouble keeping it up-to-date in one place :) I don't see any value in trying to have it in two places. And I'm sure most people would find it tediously boring :) > Am assuming, that any core dev has the potential to be a release manager in > the future. Perhaps we could add a few sentences to the devguide about the role of the release manager, with a link to PEP 101 for those interested in getting more of a feel for the mechanics (although that is about to change somewhat anyway thanks to Pablo's work at further automating the process), and with who to contact if one is interested in becoming a release manager for a future release (today, that would be the current and past release managers). > On Sat, Dec 19, 2020 at 5:22 PM Ned Deily <n...@python.org> wrote: > On Dec 19, 2020, at 14:57, joannah nanjekye <nanjekyejoan...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I got to know from Pablo that the release process is documented in a PEP > > here: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0101/ > > > > I wonder if it makes sense for us to formalize this process by documenting > > it on devguide, and adding any extra/missing information? > > PEP 101 is intended to be the primary documentation of the release process > steps from the perspective of a release manager.
