Vote to promote Kyle Stanley

Thank you so much @yselivanov, and to everyone else for the overwhelming support! Not only to those who voted, but also to all those that have helped me along the way. Of course, to Yury for the fantastic mentorship and guidance in asyncio, but I’d also like to specifically thank:

@pitrou for the guidance in concurrent.futures; @asvetlov for the guidance in asyncio; @vstinner, @brettcannon, and @Mariatta for answering my many questions regarding the CPython workflow and triaging; @willingc for the guidance in the documentation and merging my first PR; and to @guido for starting it all in the first place! There are also countless others who have helped me along the way, including both core developers and other active members of the Python development community.

The Python development community is by far the most incredible and welcoming one that I have ever had the pleasure of being a part of. Even from the beginning of my journey with CPython when I only had a brief dev team internship and some college under my belt (with minimal open source experience), I felt that others genuinely took the time to answer my questions and respond to my feedback; as long as I was willing to put some amount of effort forth in formulating it.

Thanks to the patience of many, I have gained a wealth of experience and knowledge, that I otherwise would not have. Going forward, I hope to continue to give back to the Python community for many years to come, even if it’s just a fraction of what it has given to me. It has fundamentally changed my life, definitely for the better. :slight_smile:

I greatly look forward to continuing to contribute and grow with everyone!
