Thanks Mariatta!

It would also be nice if we gave new committers a task along the lines of "mentor one woman or other person of diversity through their first non-trivial PR". (If the new committer is not comfortable actually merging the PR they can ask a more experienced core dev to do that -- after all new core devs are supposed to be mentored themselves by a more experienced core dev.)

Even nicer would be if every core dev made a commitment to "sponsor" at least one person of diversity. I understand not everyone has the time. But perhaps some core devs will volunteer! Increasing the core's diversity is a very important goal to ensure the future health of Python.

Part of the new core dev initiation should be watching this talk, titled "What is a Python Core Developer?" https://youtu.be/hhj7eb6TrtI

Let's stop the email barrage, Mark is in. Can someone tell Mark what to do?
