I'm sorry if that's what this thread has caused for you, David, and it's obviously not what I'm after.
I guess I'm just worried about the health of this project. I'm doing
through the migration to GitHub to make it easier for others to get involved while making it easier for us to accept the work of others, but the
what I can maintenance
and health of this team worries me. For instance, if you look at the developer's log you will notice we only gained 2 core devs for all of 2015 and the last one was August 2015: https://docs.python.org/devguide/developers.html. 2013 was the next slowest year with 4, but most years are much closer to 10 than 0. We also still have no female or minority members.
Not sure how you determined the latter. There are many kinds of minorities.
Anyway, with the migration to Git it becomes much easier to spot and remind us of potential committers, as both author and committer info are retained in commits. This makes a periodic report (by a bot, presumably) possible that lists those authors with the most commits, but without commit bit.
That's a great idea! Recorded in PEP 512: https://hg.python.org/peps/rev/fad7b646ab06.
