Since PEP 8001 states that we’re using inclusion in the ``python-core`` team on GitHub as the list of “registered voters”, I wrote up a quick script that compiled a list of GitHub usernames in that team *today* and any public email address on their GitHub profile if there is one.

If roundup has an API, feel free to submit a PR to generate-voter-roll.py in that same repository to have it pull from bugs.p.o as well. I already knew GitHub’s API so it was easy to spend 15 minutes tossing something together that would work. Clicking on the “tracker documentation” link doesn’t mention an API at all.

If there’s no API, well there was 40 names, even if I spent 5 minutes each doing it manually, that’s still like 3+ hours of clicking through bugs.p.o trying to converge the two lists, and I don’t have 3+ hours to burn at the moment, so I figured it was easier to ask each of those 40 people to spend 5  minutes individually.

Sorry if you don’t feel that’s sufficient. I’m short on time leading up to Re:invent and trying to do the best I can with what time I can steal from elsewhere.
