When I started here, the PSF and python-dev were considered disjoint
entities (quoting MvL from memory). Looking at

  https://www.python.org/psf/records/board/history/ ,

half of the current directors have never appeared anywhere on the python-dev
infrastructure, most notably on python-checkins.

Contrast this with e.g. the period of 2003-2004, where I still know all of
the directors even though I did not know Python at that time!

Some very prolific contributors do not appear in the list of PSF members at all.


This particular CoC specifically addresses conference misbehavior, which is
fine.
