Hi, I’m self-nominating myself for the 2023 Steering Council term to support the following agendas

## Agenda

- **Support Faster CPython**  
Faster CPython project shows noticeable performance enhancement through CPython 3.11  
I expect that we need more complicated and challenging changes for CPython 3.12.  
My main interest is supporting the team from the infrastructure level to making decisions for controversial issues.

- **Support multicore subinterpreter project**  
Many people are involving to support multicore subinterpreter project for many years, But I am not sure when we can release the feature to the public. To accelerate this project we need to support several decisions for the team so I would like to support those things for releasing the multi-core subinterpreter project at 3.12 or 3.13.

- **Support migration C API changes to the 3rd party**  
Recently, we’ve changed several C APIs for several reasons. (e.g To make C API better, For performance improvement)  
Those changes impacted Python ecosystems including important libraries like Cython or other frameworks.  
For more smooth improvement, we need to provide a way for easier migration including the status check whether the API is broken from 3rd party side,  
I would like to focus on setting up the policy and system for easier migration including providing a toolkit from the CPython team.

## My Contribution to Python

- I’ve been a core developer since 2020.
- [243 commits](https://github.com/python/cpython/commits?author=corona10) to CPython
