I quite understand the motivation for this.

It does need to be recognised that this will dramatically reduce the
number of pople who will pass that hurdle to edit the wiki, and thus the
wiki loses a lot of edits (both helpful and unhelpful) it might
otherwise have.

Thanks to those doing the work to maintain Python community
