The need for "pull requests" *is* highly restricted. Note that the "pull request" proposal appears in the Release Candidate section and only applies after 3.5.0rc1 is finalized. During the Beta phase that we're entering now, bugfixes should be checked into the new 3.5 branch and they will be released first in 3.5.0b2 or 3.5.0b3. After rc1, bugfixes checked into the 3.5 branch will be released first in 3.5.1 unless they are deemed release critical for 3.5.0 in which case the pull request would be needed. The goal is to have zero release critical fixes after rc1; usually there are very few. -- Ned Deily, n...@acm.org _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
