I doubt that ;). IIRC the rules were "at least one year", so you are probably right that we should delay the official status until then, but I care much personally. I think all of us are in the position where we don't mind giving up this "official" position in favor of more active people (just to note, IIRC in two years now, it was _somewhat_ used a single time when we donate a bit of numpy money to the mingwpy effort). I am not sure if we had it, but we could put in (up to changes of course), a rough number of people we aim to have on it. Just so we don't forget to discuss that there should be a bit flux. And I am all for some flux, because I would think it silly if those who actually make decisions don't end up on it because someone is occasionally throws in a comment. And yes, that person may well be me :). - Sebastian > cheers, > Julian > > _______________________________________________ > NumPy-Discussion mailing list > NumPy-Discussion@python.org > https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
