Hello,
Ross Logerwall has been contributing patches for several months (both bug fixes and new features). 28 changesets bear his name. I would like to propose him as a committer (is this still the appropriate word?).
Regards
Antoine.

I suspect that "pusher" has a few too many negative connotations to be a popular alternative :)
I've certainly used "core dev" as an alternative shorthand for "someone with the right to publish changes to the official CPython repository" that is neutral regarding the VCS technology. I've seen others using it that way, as well. I'd also say "committers" is still fine, despite technically being incorrect now.
Cheers, Nick.

I would say that "commiter" is still a valid term in a DVCS.
- Commiting means adding new revisions into a repository
- Pushing is just the action to copy some revisions from a repository to another
A "Python commiter" is authorized to commit revisions to the central hg.python.org/cpython repository, whether it's by copying them from another repository, or by doing a direct commit (via push). The latter happens to be unnecessary,

Regardless of the term, +1. Ross has contributed a lot of good stuff recently and has been very helpful on the tracker as well.

I haven't reviewed at his patch or tracker history myself, but he is someone I have on my mental list as "probable future committer" based on the activity I've noticed. So if Antoine says it's time, I say +1.
