Hi,

I decided to give more responsibilities to Zackery Spytz as a reward for his hard commitment over the last year and a half into Python: I gave him the bug triage permission.

He managed to get not less than 111 changes merged into the master branch since February 2018! https://github.com/python/cpython/commits?author=ZackerySpytz https://github.com/python/cpython/pulls/ZackerySpytz

He usually document properly his change and add new tests. He is not afraid of touching the C code base and working in the dark Python internals. He also likes to get reviews, and updates his change to take comments in account.

Example of changes.

bpo-37007: Implement socket.if_nametoindex(), if_indextoname() and if_nameindex() on Windows https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/13522

bpo-26836: Add os.memfd_create() https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/13567

bpo-33407: Implement Py_DEPRECATED() on MSVC https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/8980

bpo-32941: Add madvise() for mmap objects https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/6172

He also fixed numerous bugs all around the code base, making Python more stable and safer to use!

I sent Zackery instructions how to triage bug and links into the devguide. I required him to ask me before closing a bug. I also offered to mentor him for 1 month, to help him to handle his new responsibilities.

Congrats Zackery ;-) (I added him in copy of this email)

I worked with him on a couple of bugs, e.g. the memfd_create. He does a good job.
