If this is the justification, then I feel like it is a barrier that could be disassembled, rather than one people need to be granted permission to climb over. I am named on one PEP with two others (PEP 3135) and none of us were core developers, I think? I don't want that barrier added to newcomers, and I don't disagree there is a pre-existing barrier, but I can't help but feel this is not the best solution to it. I'm worried this creates a gatekeeping perception that will scare away contributors.
