4 This file is a running log of developers given permissions on SourceForge.
6 The purpose is to provide some institutional memory of who was given access
9 The first entry starts in April 2005. In keeping with the style of
10 Misc/NEWS, newer entries should be added to the top. Any markup should
11 be in the form of ReST. Entries should include the initials of the
12 project admin who made the change or granted access. Feel free to revise
13 the format to accommodate documentation needs as they arise.
15 Note, when giving new commit permissions, be sure to get a contributor
16 agreement from the committer. See http://www.python.org/psf/contrib/
