deputed tracker authority/ies. Not everyone has the same idea about how to handle the various fields and processes. Who decides in cases of disagreement? We discussed this a while back and I don't think we really have a tracker BD.  Brett and Martin come closest, but mostly we just sort of evolve a rough consensus. IMO, Benjamin and Antoine are the closest.  They devote a substantial portion of their lives to Python and have been our most active contributors in the last year.   They read almost every tracker post, read every check-in, and continuously monitor the IRC channel.

Off topic-er. Does anyone have scripts that pull data on how many committers commit or how many trac admins admin? I'm not asking for punitive reasons - I'd be the first against the wall - but I wouldn't mind graphing it. Power law, methinks. With big, confounding, and jumbley spikes in the Spring for PyCon.

Likewise for mailing list subscriptions. Personally I've gone back and forth between subscribing to everything (-list -dev -commits -bugs -ideas, et al) and subscribing to almost nothing.
