I don't know.  If he's not very active in writing or reviewing PRs, then
perhaps he doesn't _need_ core developer rights.

I have a lot of respect for Stefan's experience, and his involvement
especially in Cython development (where he's generally eager to solve
bugs and other issues).  But there are other people for whose experience
I have a lot of respect for, yet don't think important to give CPython
core developer rights to.
