We don’t typically bother to make big announcements on distutils-sig for maintainers of projects, however I’m making an exception in this case because of the recent threads on virtualenv maintenance. The current core team of virtualenv agrees that it is an important package, and deserves additional maintenance, but have somewhat stepped back from it in recent times for a variety of reasons (many ephemeral in nature). We’ve been happy to have a number of people step forward to offer help in maintaining the project, and after some thought and discussion, we’ve decided to extend an invitation of a commit bit to Bernat Gabor, and I’m happy to say that he has graciously accepted, and is now part of the team. For those unaware, Bernat is currently a developer for the tox project, which is one of the major consumers of virtualenv which made him a great fit for maintainership since it gives another real world perspective (consuming virtualenv as an API, instead of as a tool) that the current team currently lacked. So Welcome Bernat!

Welcome Bernat :-) Paul
Hi all, Let me first say thank you for the opportunity, I consider it an honour to take up this challenge. I'm excited to make virtual environments as simple and as seamless to use as possible (as tox maintainer we get exposed to some of the virtualenv bugs, will try to make that as few as possible in the long term). That being said to quote Donald, *virtualenv code base is gnarly. *As such, will spend the next month on trying to get a good grasp on virtualenv/venv code base plus improving the CI of virtualenv. Hopefully, by the PyPi sprint on end of October, I can have a good grasp on what needs to be done next and what not from the all the PRs/issues open at the moment. Bare with me while I get up to speed. All the best, Bernat On Thu, Sep 20, 2018 at 2:31 PM Paul Moore <p.f.moore@gmail.com> wrote:

Very cool - welcome Bernat! (and thank you for volunteering!) Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncoghlan@gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia
