Thank you for the responses and concerns. I do want to keep this discussion open and ongoing, and I still think that we do need a set deadline on things. Currently any undecided PEP is stalled, and no one can pronounce on them. And we probably won't/can't promote any new core devs until we have ne

It's become fairly obvious that we are missing a list of core developers on some site. One we can use as reference and one which core devs can also show to other to prove they are core developers. I guess the natural place for such a list is the dev guide, but we could also use a page on www.pytho

Thanks for your action plan, Mariatta, but I'm -1 on having strict timelines for these processes. We need to gradually approach a new model as we've done in the past decades and not push for any possibly borked model right from the start. The processes for this need to stay flexible, easy to adapt
