Please welcome our next Release Manager, Pablo!
In light of the release of Python 3.9b1, let’s take a moment to celebrate all the great work that our Python 3.8 and 3.9 release manager Łukasz has done. The role of Python Release Manager is hugely important to each successful release, and it can be a lot of work, often unseen and thankless to shepherd a new Python version through its first alpha release to its last security release. With all of your immeasurable help, the Release Manager ensures solid, feature-full releases that the entire Python community eagerly awaits. Łukasz carries on the fine tradition of all of our past release managers, and now that his second release has entered beta phase, I’m very happy to announce our next Release Manager, for Python 3.10 and 3.11: Pablo Galindo Salgado! Since becoming a core developer in 2018, Pablo has contributed significantly to Python. With the change to an annual release cycle (PEP 602, authored by Łukasz), the time commitment for release managers has been reduced as well, and we will continue to look for ways to make the selection process for release managers more transparent and accessible. I know that in addition to admirably managing the releases for 3.10 and 3.11, Pablo will also help to continually improve the process of selecting and serving as release manager. Please join me in welcoming Pablo in his new role! Cheers, -Barry
Thank you so much to Łukasz for a fantastic 3.8 release, and for the smooth transition into 3.9 beta. :-)

Congrats, Pablo! With all of your incredible work on CPython's continuous integration, I think you'll be a great release manager! On Tue, May 19, 2020 at 6:54 PM Barry Warsaw <barry@python.org> wrote:
I'm very happy about this! Pablo is a natural candidate for the role. As one of the people caring for our buildbots, he helped me during releases many times. And this past 3.9.0b1, while I was working on the new 3.9 maintenance branch, he made the master branch successfully build a Python with a double-digit minor version number. Strong start! Welcome! PS. Thank you for the kind words, Barry, it will take some more releases for me to make before I retire: eyes fixed on 3.9.0 in particular. Exciting times! :-) -- Best regards, Łukasz Langa
Thanks for the good work Łukasz! And congrats to the well deserved Pablo. On Tue, May 19, 2020 at 7:54 PM Barry Warsaw <barry@python.org> wrote:

I think having a buildbot watcher as release manager will be great. I see 2 major, possible contentious issues for the next two releases. First, with 2.x really past us, is removing remaining long deprecated features, plus some others advocated for removal. I think these are best done by the first alpha so that early testers are rewarded with an early opportunity to change their code or else object to the removal. Second is removal of the old parser and grammar changes the require the new parser. -- Terry Jan Reedy
