Selected Qualifications
Project Lead
Łukasz is the creator/lead of Black, which means he already leads a popular project on his own.
Łukasz also used to lead Python infrastructure at Instagram/Facebook, so he has experience running a large installation of Python and thus its pain points.
As author of PEP 8012, Łukasz was the author the second most popular governance PEP, suggesting that his ideas of how the project should be run are liked by a good portion of core developers.
Language Design
Łukasz has played an important role in the type hinting work that has gone on in Python.
Łukasz is the creator/lead of Black. That has put him in the position of having to run not only a very popular project, but one that is heavily based on personal taste and thus a frequent target of other people’s “opinion”.
