Is there a list somewhere of the IRC nicks of the core developers that use IRC (and who wish to be listed) alongside their real names? If there is no such list, has there ever been discussion on python-dev of creating such a list? --Chris

I'm sure we could make one, but it's probably of limited utility since not many people are on IRC, and those who are come and go throughout the day, throughout the month, year, etc. It'd just end up being another list to try and keep up to date (alphabetized, of course). You're probably better off just asking who's around whenever you're on.

On the other hand, a lot of people, especially the people who do use IRC frequently and are therefore most likely to be found there, keep the same IRC handle for a long time (I've had mine, bitdancer, since 1995 or so). So I think there would be utility in such a list even if the updates were spotty. -- R.

No, to all those questions. It's not a bad idea, though. One possibility (if someone was willing to work on it) would be to enhance our Roundup instance to handle it. (See http://docs.python.org/devguide/tracker.html#the-meta-tracker) Allow users to add their typical IRC handle, and perhaps add a "Committers List" link below the existing "Users List" link in the sidebar.
