But you don’t need to be “part of it” in any meaningful way. One only needs to create an account, which could be quite anonymous, and even temporary.
I don't believe you can actually use temporary accounts. Github only allows one account per physical person, and if I delete my account, then later open a new one from the same IP and/or with a related e-mail address, I would expect them to either blocklist me, or resurrect the old account and copy the data to the new one. If anyone really tried, please correct me.
[...] Also: cPython is a large, complex, and mature project. I don't think many non-developers can even identify a true bug, much less write a helpful big report. [...]
There is a genuine question here: bluntly said, are bug reports still welcome? In the tradition of the Free Software movement, reporting bugs is considered an act of good citizenship. If the scarcity of developer time makes it no longer be the case for cPython, it'd rather be broadly communicated to users.
[...] I don’t mind needing an account to contribute to a conversation.
I do, if a single company becomes the gatekeeper of most conversations in a whole field of endeavor. Alas, I have to admit being in the minority, so let this part of the discussion rest. Cheers, Baptiste
