[python-committers] Proposed new core developer -- Mariatta Wijaya

[Victor Stinner]

Hi,

I vote +1 for Mariatta Wijaya.

Oh, I didn't notice her name. I looked at commited changes. Most of
them are related to documentation, and a patch to update OpenSSL in
the macOS installer.

Sadly, too few developers care of the documentation (I plead guilty!),
so yeah, it would be nice to get some help on this area. Around 15% of
open issues (894/5736) are in the Documentation component.

Wait, I don't want to restrict Mariatta to documentation! In my
experience, developers are able to restrict themself to areas where
they feel confident. I guess that slowly she will contribute to the
other parts of Python. I recall that my first commited patch was in
the documentation, probably as most of us :-)

Great! I was going to ask you if you would mentor her, so it's perfect.
