Hi,
I want to propose granting commit privileges to Nathaniel J. Smith. He's interested in the idea of becoming a core developer, and given the quality of his contributionsI think he won't need any extensive mentoring (although I'll be happy to assist Nathaniel in the beginning).
Nathaniel has been a prolific PEP author:
Single-authored: PEP 465 Matrix Multiplication (accepted), PEP 521, PEP 533, PEP 568;
Co-authored: PEP 513 (active), PEP 516, PEP 517 (accepted), PEP 518 (accepted), PEP 522.
Many PEPs mention his name in acknowledgements.
He also has a few sufficiently complex patches committed, some of which touch complex areas like ceval loop and signals handling:
- bpo-32591: Add native coroutine origin tracking
- bpo-30579: Allow TracebackType creation and tb_next mutation from Python
- bpo-30050: Allow disabling full buffer warnings in signal.set_wakeup_fd
- bpo-30039: Don't run signal handlers while resuming a yield from stack
- bpo-30038: fix race condition in signal delivery + wakeup fd
- etc
He's been very active on python-dev, python-ideas, bugs.python.org and github. Here's an example where Nathaniel's research helped us to make a right decision to fix a broken socket object API: https://bugs.python.org/msg308450.
He helped me quite a bit with the design of PEP 550 and PEP 567, and he's doing some interesting work in the async/await area.
So... let's make it happen? :)
