Note that details about commits predating opening up the repository for external commits which happened sometime in 2000 IIRC are not necessarily correct.

It's correct from the perspective that the person in question did merge those changes. But you are correct that authorship is not accurate (e.g. my first change got merged in June 2002).

Before opening up the repo, patches were submitted to the repo via the team around Guido. This Misc/ACKS file was used in those times to give credit.

I'm well aware as someone who quite excited to get their name into Misc/ACKS back in the day and who has added plenty of other people over the years. ;)

Also: While the number of changes may be an indicator for how active someone is in terms of using the VCS, it's not a good indicator of the quality of the work being checked in.

Sorry if I somehow implied that it was as that was never my intent. Consider the stats more as just providing people a way to spot check that I'm not missing changes by them.

Since the thread on potential criteria to be kept on the canonical list of core developers has seemingly stopped and no one explicitly objected to the proposed criteria, I gathered together the proposed list of Python core team members (as well as the people who would be left off an why). Please note that since I am working from the git log on the cpython repository and the developer log the data is best-effort, thus if you have information to add, please let all of us know! Also remember this is for the canonical list, not the active list (I plan to start working on that list after all of this is settled). In the text below, "change" means "committed or authored" in git parlance. Details in the form of e.g. "1990-08-09 to 2019-06-11 (11,210)" represent the date of the person's first change, the date of their last change, and the total number of changes made by that person. I have written this to format appropriate in Markdown, so if you view it on Hyperkitty/Mailman3 then it will render appropriately (the link should be in the email footer Mailman adds). # Proposed people to drop from the historical list of Python core team members Be aware that some people show up on multiple lists justifying removal. I thought it was more informative to keep the people in all lists they are in for a more informed decision. The lists are also not in any particular order. The enumeration is there just to point out the total count. Also note that I preemptively pulled people out of lists where I made a judgmental call that their participation was high enough to not warrant potentially be left out of the core team. Obviously if people disagree then please speak up. And as a reminder, the developer log as to why someone was given privileges (if it was written down) is at https://devguide.python.org/developers/.... ## People who are in the developer log but have never made a change

# Proposed list of core developers This list is sorted by timespan of contribution, i.e. date of last change - date of first change. If you find any duplicate names, please let me know as I have a file going where I tried to amalgamate peoples' names to connect changes made under some variation of their name. And obviously if you are missing from the list and should be there then please speak up so I can figure out what went wrong.
