This is not the correct forum for this. If you have issues with the process, you can email me, as I am/was the acting committee chair for talks, Van Lindberg as the pycon chair, or the pycon-org, or pycon-pc lists.
I am not going to join the list but I have a couple of suggestions: If you are going judge speakers, do so openly; perhaps even tell poor speakers not to bother again. Proposals with multiple authors should then have blanks for 'intended speaker' and 'alternate speaker' so the right person can be judged. Editors of professional journals read reviews for acceptibility before sending them on to authors. Consider the same here. Terry Jan Reedy
