I think it would also be a good idea to include core developers of other Python implementations in such a document, in separate sections, e.g. for Jython, IronPython, PyPy, Stackless, etcHmm, I don't think it is should be our (CPython) responsibility to keep track and maintain the list of the core devs of alternate Python implementations. Don't they have their own community / website? They have their own repo, bug tracker, governance model, and everything, right?
Agreed. We have a hard enough time keeping track of our own core developers.
I don't really think we have a hard time doing this. The only problem is that we never sat down and actually properly recorded this in one place.
Other projects will, of course, have their own websites, but since Python is more than just CPython, it would be great to include those other developers in an official list as well. It would be up for for the other teams to maintain their lists.
That said, this part is lower priority than the CPython core developer listing.
For our core devs, can't we just say that the CPython core devs are those with commit bits on the CPython repo? I realize that will eliminate some people who have been core developers and never moved to github, but if they bring it to our attention, we can add them easily enough. As discussed before, being a core developer is a status you gain and never lose. There is a clear difference between have commit rights to the (current) repo and this status.
What I am after, is a list of core developers, not a list of people with their keys on github (or where ever we move in the future), since this list is not about a technical status, but rather a social one.
Then the issue I created which Mariatta linked to I think covers this desire to have a historical record of people who have been core developers along with when they have had commit privileges.
Yes, it does, but it's not a replacement, it's an additional simple to query reference for 3rd parties.
