Nick Coghlan added the comment: Posting an alternate draft that takes the approach MAL suggested, emphasising the personal motivation side of things. This one doesn't attempt to pre-categories the list of contributors - instead, I'd expect us to do that based on analysis of the raw text. The

Nick Coghlan added the comment: I think the change in tone that MAL suggested will go a long way towards clarifying the opt-in nature of the idea - my initial draft took too much of its phrasing from contexts where disclosure is required rather than optional. -- __

Nick Coghlan added the comment: Right, I'm in a similar situation at Red Hat to the one Antoine's in at Continuum Analytics - I'm not personally part of Red Hat's Python maintenance team (I used to work on internal Engineering tools, and now work on Fedora's overall developer experience), but

Antoine Pitrou added the comment: What would be the rules for how to fill this up? For example, I work for Continuum, which develops Conda and Anaconda, but I'm not paid to work on CPython (I work on Numba). However, perhaps someone might want to ask for CPython work that aligns with Continuum

Nick Coghlan added the comment: Ezio's right I ended up mixing together a few different objectives here, which is an artifact of how the idea came about: * my starting point was wanting a list of folks that already have commit access (and hence are demonstrably familiar to the core development

Marc-Andre Lemburg added the comment: I like the idea, but the phrasings "disclosure" and "financial interests" sound too negative, IMO. Wouldn't it be better to put the emphasis on a) core devs who do this in their free time, b) core devs who would be available for hired work, and c) showing
