I propose Florian Bruhin (aka The-Compiler)[0] due to his significant
contributions to the Python community, mainly in the form of
qutebrowser[1], which is a cross-platform web browser with vim-style
key bindings and a minimal GUI written in Python using PyQt - for
which he also received a CH Open Source award in 2016[2]. He is also a
long term contributor and maintainer for pytest and has done
significant work in the development of PySide. Apart from his
in-numerous contributions to the Free and Libre Open Source Software,
he has also mentored many people, in his personal capability, as well
as through the means of various open source programs, like Google
Summer of Code, Rails Girls Summer of Code, etc and otherwise.

Thanks!

Sincerely,
Rahul
