It's been pointed out that despite the excellent feedback I received
from folks on the issue tracker, I still missed a few aspects of the
translation away from the legalistic bureaucratese I used in my
initial draft (see
https://bugs.python.org/file40527/register-of-interests.diff ).

I'll do another pass on that, swapping out the more formal terms (e.g.
"disclose") for more common plain English equivalents (e.g.
"publish"). If there are other particular phrases and words that seem
out of place, please let me know, either directly or here in the
thread, as I sometimes lose track of what counts as normal English and
what's specifically corporate/institutional English :)

Regards,
Nick.
