+1 for Mariatta.

I think it's grossly unfair to have just "She's a Python Core Developer" as
a description for her.

She received the PSF Community Service Award in Q3 2018. [1] She was the
second female CPython Core developer, one of only 5 today. She has given a
talk at PyCon about what being a CPython Core Developer means. [2]

She has done a lot toward improving CPython's development workflow and
making CPython development more accessible to first time contributors. She
is also the author of PEP 581. She's a co-organizer of the PyLadies
Vancouver Meetup and a co-chair of PyCascades.
