As a long-time contributor to the https://thenewstack.io/an-introduction-to-python-for-non-programmers/, https://pl.linkedin.com/in/llanga recently served as the release manager for Python versions 3.8 and 3.9. Established by the nonprofit Python Software Foundation, the developer-in-residence position will “assist CPython volunteer maintainers and the Steering Council,” according to https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2021/04/the-psf-is-hiring-developer-in.html.

The top two human contributors are https://github.com/vstinner (paid by https://www.openshift.com/try?utm_content=inline-mention to maintain Python upstream) and https://twitter.com/serhiystorchaka?lang=en (a Ukraine-based Python core developer), both of whom Langa acknowledges for “amazing amounts of activity.”

(It’s at least just under 42 days, plus or minus — but it jumps to 77.4 days if the core developers aren’t merging their own pull requests). Meanwhile, pull requests that don’t get merged — but are closed instead — wait, on average, more than 105 days, Langa wrote.
