With the next SC election fast approaching, I did the final tweaks I wanted
to make to the voters repo to address visibility issues we had in the last
election.

First, there is now a monthly cron job that will run at
https://github.com/python/voters/actions?query=workflow%3A%22Projected+Voter+Roll%22
which will project a Dec 01 vote and then calculate who would fall off the
voter roll based solely on activity, who would be added, and then the full
list of voters. What that means is the two year of activity is calculated
back from the next Dec 01, so you can check to see if you haven't committed
or authored code in that timeframe to automatically be put on the voter
roll.

Second, I created
https://github.com/python/voters/actions?query=workflow%3A%22Generate+Voter+Roll%22
for manually creating the voter roll. This means people can manually
trigger the same code used to create the initial voter roll and see who
would (not) be automatically placed on it. I expect this to mostly be used
by the folks running the election. And I do advise specifying the full date
as the input instead of using the MM-DD shortcut if you choose today as it
will most likely wrap around to projecting a vote next year.

Finally, I updated the data to include when someone left the core team (and
if someone was ejected, which is a term from PEP 13). For those that never
entered a GitHub username, I implicitly put them as having left the team
the day the first PR was merged on GitHub since they stopped being able to
participate actively from that day forward with an appropriate note as to
why (2017-02-10). This is now shown in the developer log at
https://devguide.python.org/developers/.

Hopefully this is enough to easily check if one should try to get a quick
PR committed and/or authored before an election. We can all also try to
remember to include it in the vote announcement email going forward if
anyone forgets.
