I guess I wasn't clear, sorry.

Perhaps the better term is "title" rather than "status". My
understanding is that you become core developer and essentially
keep this title forever.

Whether you actually have your keys in the repo to push a PR
or not is a different story and not really related to the "title"
you earned.

Listing the core developers somewhere on an official page
would help with the verification you are referring to. At
the moment, we don't seem to have this. It does make a difference
on CVs and it's one of the few things we can give back to people
when contributing code and time to Python.

Hope that's a little clearer.

Thanks,
