Actual quote by "a Python Software Foundation fellow and contrib- utor to Python infrastructure projects" What frustrates me most is that we have an all-time high of Python developers and an all-time low on high quality contri- butions.[...] As soon as pivotal developers like Armin Ronacher slow down their churn, the whole community feels it immedi- ately.
