I broke the 3.5 branch, apparently
by R. David Murray June 4, 2016

June 4, 2016

I don't understand how it happened, but apparently I got a merge commit backward and merged 3.6 into 3.5 and pushed it without realizing what had happened. If anyone has any clue how to reverse this cleanly, please let me know. (There are a couple people at the sprints looking in to it, but the mercurial guys aren't here so we are short on experts). My apologies for the mess :( --David

Promote Xavier de Gaye as a core developer
by Victor Stinner June 3, 2016

Hi, I propose to promote Xavier de Gaye as a Python core developer. I noticed that he is proposing good patches since a lot time ago (first one around 2010! issue #9250). He now looks to be motivated to help porting CPython to Android. IMHO it's a good thing to support this platform. It's a common user request, Android platform becomes more and more popular. Xavier proposed patches for the Python code, but also on the C code. To be honest, I didn't look at his work closely, but he looks to be motivated and have a good knowledge of Python and even CPython internals. I already asked him if he would like to become a core developer and he replied that he is ok, but it wouldn't change his motivation to contribute (he is already motivated ;-)). Oh, and I propose to be his mentor to start in CPython. So, what do you think of his profile? His nickname on bugs.python.org is "xdegaye". Less french speaking core developers are active last months, so I'm looking for fresh blood for the French Connection :-D More seriously, it would be nice if we can recruit more core developers!
