I brought this up in the context of lowering the barrier to contribution; not as a value statement surrounding whether or not we should give out privileges sooner rather than later - most of the comments echo the sentiment of "it's hard or unapproachable to become part of this project". I personally feel that if a person is willing to do the work, and someone vouches for them and is willing to be their mentor, there's no reason to wave our hands and say no. jesse _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
