.. note::
Becoming a member of the Python triage team
-------------------------------------------

Any Python core developers are welcome to invite a Python contributor to the
Python triage team. Do note that the responsibilities of a Python triager
is more elevated than a developer on bpo. For example, the Python triager
has access to more repositories than just CPython. Triagers will be responsible
to handle not just issues, but also pull requests, and even managing backports.

Any existing developers on b.p.o can transition into becoming a Python triager.
They can request this to any core developer, and the core developer
can pass the request to the `Python organization admin
<https://devguide.python.org/devcycle/?highlight=organization%20admin#current-owners>`_
on GitHub. The request
can be made confidentially via a DM in Zulip or Discourse, or publicly by opening
an `issue in the core-workflow repository
<https://github.com/python/core-workflow/issues/new?template=triage_membership.md>`_.

Any contributor who is not already a developer on b.p.o can also self-nominate
to be a member of Python triage team. They can request this to any core developer,
confidentially via DM in Zulip or Discourse, or publicly by opening an issue in core-workflow.
If a core developer agrees and is willing to vouch for them, the core developer
can pass the request to the GitHub administrator. They should also be added as
developer on bpo.

For every new triager, it would be great to announce them in the python-committers
mailing list and core-workflow category in Discourse. `Example announcement
<https://discuss.python.org/t/abhilash-raj-has-been-granted-triage-role-on-github/2089>`_.

Existing members with the "Developer" role on the `issue tracker`_ are welcome to
self-nominate for triage team membership if they are interested.
