It was not very clear in your message where you talked about "voting" about either candidate.

For new core devs we basically ask each of the five of us whether anyone has a reason to object and if they do then we have a discussion and decide as a group whether that reason warrants a veto. So we "vote" as to whether anyone has a reason to veto.

I don't think you meant it to come off this way, but that email felt like a lecture because you didn't ask for clarification and instead just stated back at me what the process is as if you didn't believe me or any one of the five of us knew what PEP 13 said on how to handle proposed new core devs (which we have already handled once with Cheryl; this happens to be the first time we need to handle two candidates simultaneously). If people want to ask questions or desire some clarification from the council then please feel free to ask, but I do ask that we be given the benefit of the doubt that at least one of the five of us knows what we are doing. ;) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
