FWIW, since my name appears here: despite my lack of public contributions 
lately I do not consider myself inactive in any way since I’ve been continually 
working and cooperating with a lot of people in non-public ways. Whether it was 
the push for fixing ssl in 2014 or my help with designing data classes more 
recently. I did notice that my name was missing, but I read PEP 13 in a way 
that code = vote and didn’t want to raise a stink about it.
