That has occurred to me also.  If two or three core developers respond 
negatively and none favorably, the proposal is likely dead, at least in 
its initial form.

On bug.python.org issues, we are marked with the blue and yellow Python 
snakes.  The sidebar has a link Committer List.  If I click it when 
logged in, I see a list of 173 people (most inactive).  This will not 
include Committers not registered on the tracker.  Not logged in, I see 
the first batch of all 20000+ registered users, which seems like a bug. 
I don't know what you would see.

There are perhaps 10 core developers who currently read the list with 
any regularity.  On today's messages, besides myself, I recognize 
Stephen D'Aprano, Ronald Oussoren, Paul Moore, Antoine Pitrou, and Eric 
V. Smith.
