+Identify potential new core developers
+''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
+The Python development team has long-standing guidelines for
+selecting new core developers. The key part of the guidelines is that
+a person needs to have contributed multiple patches which have been
+accepted and are high enough quality and size to demonstrate an
+understanding of Python's development process. A bot could be written
+which tracks patch acceptance rates and generates a report to help
+identify contributors who warrant consideration for becoming core
+developers. This work doesn't even necessarily require GitHub
+integration as long as the committer field in all git commits is
+filled in properly.
