| Maintainers Index |
| ================= |
| |
| This document has tables that list Python Modules, Tools, Platforms and |
| Interest Areas and names for each item that indicate a maintainer or an |
| expert in the field. This list is intended to be used by issue submitters, |
| issue triage people, and other issue participants to find people to add to |
| the nosy list or to contact directly by email for help and decisions on |
| feature requests and bug fixes. People on this list may be asked to render |
| final judgement on a feature or bug. If no active maintainer is listed for |
| a given module, then questionable changes should go to python-dev, while |
| any other issues can and should be decided by any committer. |
| |
| The Platform and Interest Area tables list broader fields in which various |
| people have expertise. These people can also be contacted for help, |
| opinions, and decisions when issues involve their areas. |
| |
| If a listed maintainer does not respond to requests for comment for an |
| extended period (three weeks or more), they should be marked as inactive |
| in this list by placing the word 'inactive' in parenthesis behind their |
| tracker id. They are of course free to remove that inactive mark at |
| any time. |
| |
| Committers should update this table as their areas of expertise widen. |
| New topics may be added to the third table at will. |
| |
| The existence of this list is not meant to indicate that these people |
| *must* be contacted for decisions; it is, rather, a resource to be used |
| by non-committers to find responsible parties, and by committers who do |
| not feel qualified to make a decision in a particular context. |
| |
| See also `PEP 291`_ and `PEP 360`_ for information about certain modules |
| with special rules. |
