Hi Lewis. I'm a trigger (not a core developer), but I'd be happy to make myself available during that time for expedited PR reviews. Ideally, the core review / merge stage would be your only bottleneck then. I'm a bit busy next month though, so do you know the actual dates / time / time zones you plan to be working in? Also, are there any specific issues you have identified that you want to work on within your stated areas of interest? If so, I can do some homework before in order to speed up the reviews. I'd recommend that all PR authors review the contributing section of the developers guide beforehand: https://devguide.python.org/pullrequest Specifically, make sure that every contributor has signed the CLA at least a couple of business days before (it's often the longest blocker for first-time contributions): https://devguide.python.org/pullrequest/#licensing Looking forward to your help!
