There’s no secret, there’s also things we just haven’t bothered communicating publicly because it has not gone anywhere and there is no need for anyone to know (same reason you all don’t need to know about every crazy idea that enters my head; if it isn’t actionable then it doesn’t need to be public
).
We were considering trying to line up some paid staff work to help with things such as the PR queue (there was that poll we sent out earlier in the year to core devs on this topic). The coronavirus put that all on hold due to financial constraints from there being no PyCon US 2020 and thus the PSF losing its major funding vehicle to help make such a thing happen.
I didn’t go into details because there’s zero timeline right now as to when things will get back to a place where the PSF could financially pull this off and thus the SC taking the idea up again; the idea is on indefinite hold until the situation changes. Since it’s not being actively discussed due to the current situation and there isn’t much anyone can do right now, there isn’t any public discussion to have to report on from the SC and thus “stuff going on that is not public” because there’s no point is making it so.
