Alright, it's decided! I now envy Nathaniel a bit, so many people +1-ed!

I've added Nathaniel to devguide/developers.rst, and I believe Victor has already elevated his permissions on the bug tracker.

Can someone with admin permissions on github.com/python invite Nathaniel to the Core Developers team?

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 tbnext mutation from Python * bpo-30050: Allow disabling full buffer warnings in signal.setwakeupfd * 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? :) Yury
