[issue25194] Register of Financial Interests for core contributors

[Raymond Hettinger]

Raymond Hettinger added the comment:

FWIW, I think this is bad idea and opens a can of worms.  Occasionally, I'm consulting and under NDA or my clients don't want they're doing disclosed.  Also, I feel this is a transgression into my personal life.   My financial affairs are my own business and I want my contributions to be evaluated on their merits rather than on who I taught a Python course to or a commercial project that I may have participated in.

I'm already sensitive to this.  As a Certified Public Accountant, the state I'm live in thinks that "in the public interest" I am required to have my home address listed on a public website and that my fingerprints be kept on file in the U.S. criminal database.

I would sooner quit being a core developer that be required by you to register my financial interests.  That is too personal and I won't do it.
