Hi everyone,

After talking with Victor Stinner on some ideas on how to encourage

contributions to CPython and how to give more visibility to contributors

based on the https://thanks.rust-lang.org/ project (than in turn was based

on http://contributors.rubyonrails.org/) I have created the following prototype

The project runs on Heroku at this moment, it fetches the latest changes from the git

repository and updates every 30 minutes to get the latest information. You can click on

any release to get the contributor names:

Example: https://thanks-python.herokuapp.com/tag/v3.6.5

(the names are obtained from the commit messages)

and you can in turn click any contributor name to get the list of commits:

https://thanks-python.herokuapp.com/contributor/Mariatta

You can also obtain a list of all contributors (all time contributors):

https://thanks-python.herokuapp.com/all_time

I want also to emphasize that this is just a very basic prototype made for evaluating the idea and

the possible benefit that it has,

but is functional

At this point is a very simple flask app with a celery worker running in the background and a redis

interface for celery and for storing the git data (so is very easy to bootstrap as the first thing it does

when started is to clone the repo and fetch the data again).

What are your opinions on the matter?

P.S. Don't be to critic on my horrible html and web design skills ;)
