[python-committers] An alternative governance model

[M.-A. Lemburg]

I find this discussion really interesting from a social perspective.
Let's keep it going for a while without jumping to any conclusions.
It's too early to head down into one particular rabbit hole yet ;-)

There's no rush and if things crystallize only in a year's time,
that's perfectly fine.

(And even better: We have Tim back with us for all that time to
entertain us :-))

Cheers.
