I don't know if this got blocked in the now-obsolete use of cognates of 
"commit"?

Claude hasn't, and wouldn't, "commit" directly to Django here. He's always 
opened a 
PR with the translations updates, which has then been reviewed, and which 
then, yes, he has 
merged, and forward/backported as necessary — which IS the Merger role. 
(IIUC)

In the Merger role, Claude would also be able to approve and Merge other 
PRs. 

Beyond this important translations case, we do need a third Merger, and I 
cannot think of a better candidate. 
(The two most active contributors are Claude and Simon, and Simon cannot 
serve as a Merger because of his 
role on the Technical Board.) 

I would ask the Technical Board to proceed with the nomination, as, bar the 
loose language, I think it is in line with the DEP. 

Kind Regards,

Carlton
