I propose to promote Stefan Behnel (aka scoder on the tracker and GitHub) as a core developer. Perhaps not one from us is surprised that he is not yet a core developer. Stefan is a core developer of Cython and lxml, two important projects in Python ecosystem. He is a coauthor of PEP 489. His first patch is dated by 2010. He is not so active as other candidates in writing patches (I have counted less than 20 of his commits), but he is active on the bug tracker and mailing lists (reported 95 issues and commented much more). His expertise in XML-related issues was very important. He is assigned as an expert for the xml.etree package.

Maybe you can add more about Stefan's merits. This is just what I know personally. I worked a much with him and have very good impression about him.

Ah, and the PSF also just granted him their quarterly community service award for
2019-Q1. https://www.python.org/community/awards/psf-awards/#march-2019
