don't see why Yury would become but not Vajrasky Kok.

In this case, it's Yury's specific contributions to an orphan module and
being a co-author of an accepted PEP related to that module that motivate
my suggestion, rather than general bug fixing (which I agree would
typically involve a wider range of contributions).

I see it as similar to the way we grant commit access to authors of "add a
module to the standard library" PEPs as a matter of course so they can
continue maintaining it.

Cheers,
Nick.

Developers know what it means to be core developer and usually ensure that
they don't make mistake.

just trying to figure out how his profile is different from Vajrasky's
profile. By the way, I also proposed to mentor Vajrasky.
