Since the thread on potential criteria to be kept on the canonical list of
core developers has seemingly stopped and no one explicitly objected to the
proposed criteria, I gathered together the proposed list of Python core
team members (as well as the people who would be left off an why). Please
note that since I am working from the git log on the cpython repository and
the developer log the data is best-effort, thus if you have information to
add, please let all of us know! Also remember this is for the _canonical_
list, not the _active_ list (I plan to start working on that list after all
of this is settled).
In the text below, "change" means "committed or authored" in git parlance.
Details in the form of e.g. "1990-08-09 to 2019-06-11 (11,210)" represent
the date of the person's first change, the date of their last change, and
the total number of changes made by that person.
I have written this to format appropriate in Markdown, so if you view it on
Hyperkitty/Mailman3 then it will render appropriately (the link should be
in the email footer Mailman adds).
# Proposed people to drop from the historical list of Python core team
members
Be aware that some people show up on multiple lists justifying removal. I
thought it was more informative to keep the people in all lists they are in
for a more informed decision.
The lists are also not in any particular order. The enumeration is there
just to point out the total count.
Also note that I preemptively pulled people out of lists where I made a
judgmental call that their participation was high enough to not warrant
potentially be left out of the core team. Obviously if people disagree then
please speak up.
And as a reminder, the developer log as to why someone was given privileges
(if it was written down) is at https://devguide.python.org/developers/.
