Oh. I forgot to mention that I offer to mentor Stéphane once he would
become a core dev for 1 month for help him to deal with his new
responsibilities. I would require him to ask me before merging any PR
during the mentoring.

>
> He got 57 commits merged into the master branch of Python: authored 46
> commits + co-authored 1 commit + 10 commits before Git ("Patch written
> by Stéphane Wirtel").
>
> He organized a Python conference at FOSDEM 5 times in a row (between
> 80 and 800 persons per year) and got a PSF Community Service Awards in
> June 2016 for that: "Stéphane Wirtel for his work organizing a Python
> User Group in Belgium, for his continued work creating marketing
> material for the PSF, for his continued outreach efforts with
> spreading the PSF's mission."
> https://www.python.org/community/awards/psf-awards/#june-2016
>
> He is also helping to organize EuroPython, by working on the website
> or being a volunteer on-site.
>
> He gave a lot of Python talks all around the world at many Pycon
> (France, EuroPython, Canda, Italy, Ireland, UK, San Sebastiàn,
> Slovakia, Ukraine) and at FOSDEM (Belgium). For example, he gave talks
> about Python internals (bytecode, parser), and on Python development
> workflow and Pull Requests.
>
> He is always volunteer to help the Python project, not only the code.
> For example, he is a committer on the developer guide (devguide).
>
> He is helping other contributors get their bugs fixed or to get their
> changes merged. He participated to not less than 218 PR: ping the
> right core dev who can review/help, test manually to validate and
> provide good feedback, propose enhancements, etc. Sometimes, he just
> says "Thank you for your contribution" which is IMHO a good practice
> for a healthy community :-) (we don't do that often enough!)
