The language moved at a faster pace back then (especially with Python
3), which made it easier to find ways to contribute without getting into
boring or overly tedious topics.
Also, I think its image is simply changing. 10 years ago, Python still
stood out as something cool and a bit special. Now it's regarded as
established and mature, and it certainly changes its attractivity among
the kind of people who are keen to do volunteer contributions to free /
open source software.
Can this be reversed? I don't know.
Regards
Antoine.
