Ok, let me be even clearer :-)
While I understand that there is a need to show the world that we need more active core devs, this drive to shelve existing developers is not a good way to achieve this.
Here's a simple approach which is effective without all the implied social costs of removing core dev flags:
- create a page with the core devs who have at least 10 commits in the last 6 months (the "active" ones):
https://github.com/python/cpython/graphs/contributors?from=2017-12-19&to=2018-06-19&type=c
(at the moment, this gives 21 entries)
[...]
- add more ways to add recognition to the core dev title to make it more attractive, e.g. an free tickets to PyCon US for life, your own page on python.org, etc.
I would love tickets to PyCon US. I've only been able to afford to attend once, and then only because it was being held 25 miles away.
