New pip core developer: Pradyun Gedam

[Paul Moore]

Many of you will have seen the work Pradyun has been doing on the pip
tracker recently. He's been doing a fantastic job, and as a result,
we've offered him core developer status - and I'm pleased to say that
he's accepted :-)

Welcome, Pradyun - thanks for all the work you've been doing, and
here's to plenty more ;-)

It seems that virtualenv project got neglected for too long and I would like to 
help cleaning its github presence a little bit.

Having bugs opened in 2011 which were both incomplete and obsolete that were 
not closed is something common on virtualenv. Also the same applies to PRs 
which are ignored for very long time.

I don't ask for PYPI release rights, only for possibility to close issues, 
add/change labels and review rights on github. I will also watch the entire 
project and try to reply quickly.

I can provide full support for Unix like platforms (Linux and MacOS). I do have 
a lot of Windows experience but I would prefer to avoid having to start my own 
VM, being without one for more than an year and I don't want to relapse ;)

Considering that the only other maintainer that I seen active recently (Paul 
Moore) is more Windows centric, I think that my help would be appreciated.

For those not knowing me, I have 10+ years of Python, maintain few packages 
(all under pycontribs org) and work for Red Hat OpenStack. I would focus mostly 
on CI and automation, as that the only safe way to assure/improve product 
quality, manual testing is ... for those that can afford the time. (feel free 
to google me)

Thanks
