[python-committers] Proposing Mark Shannon to be a core developer

[Larry Hastings]

Dr. Mark Shannon contributed the "key sharing dictionary" to Python, 
writing both the PEP and the implementation.  This shipped in Python 3.3 
and was listed as one of the top features of that release as according 
to the "What's New?" document.

We've asked Mark in the past if he'd be interested in becoming a core 
developer--and he actually said no.  At the time he said he didn't like 
our antiquated workflow.  Now that we've switched to the git-based core 
dev workflow, this objection is gone, and he's now interested in 
accepting the commit bit and the responsibilities that it entails.

I suspect you, my colleagues in CPython core development, will be 
surprised at the current state of affairs.  I'm expecting a load of "you 
mean Mark *isn't* a core developer yet?" replies.


Submitted for your consideration,
