Where does Python core developer activity get directed to? #Python

Who contributes where?

We have a self-reported Experts Index in the Python Developer’s Guide. Many libraries and fields don’t have anyone listed though, so let’s try to find who is contributing where. Especially given the previous file-based activity, it’s interesting to see who works on what. However, the files table contains 18,184 distinct filenames. That’s too much to form decent groups for analytics.

So instead, I wrote a script to identify the top 5 contributors per file. There is a lot of deduplication there and some pruning of irrelevant results but sadly the end result is still 636 categories. Well, it’s a huge project, maybe that should be expected if we want to be detailed. I’m sure we could sensibly bring it down still but I erred on the side of providing more information rather than too little.
