[python-committers] Let's give commit privileges to Nathaniel J. Smith

[Yury Selivanov]

Alright, it's decided!  I now envy Nathaniel a bit, so many people +1-ed!

I've added Nathaniel to devguide/developers.rst, and I believe Victor
has already elevated his permissions on the bug tracker.

Can someone with admin permissions on github.com/python invite
Nathaniel to the Core Developers team?
