[$] Picking a governance model for Python
The Python language project has been officially "leaderless" since themid-July announcement that Guido van Rossumwas stepping down. He is, of course, the founder of the language and hadserved for more than two decades as its Benevolent Dictator for Life(BDFL). But he did not appoint a successor and left it up to the project's core developers tocome up with a new governance structure. In the three months since, agreat deal of work has gone into that effort, which has to bootstrap itselfsince there was not even any mechanism to choose how to select a newgovernance model.
