[Docutils-develop] Request to become a Project Developer

[Adam T. <aat...@ou...>]

Hi,

As advised by Günter Milde off-list, I'm submitting this request to become a Project Developer.

The relevant text in the policies<https://docutils.sourceforge.io/docs/dev/policies.html#repository> notes:

> "If you would like to become a project developer, just ask!"

A brief overview of my (proposed) contributions to Docutils:

- Code cleanup for Python 3.7 & associated modernisations
- Removing 'prest' from the source tree
- Contributor to public API scope discussion
- Moving to argparse (in discussion)
- Enabling tests to be used with native unittest (in discussion)
- Declarative build system (in discussion)
- Using entry-points for front-end tools (in discussion)
- Adding a bcp-reference role (in discussion)

I have also contributed to the integrations between Docutils and Sphinx on the Sphinx bug-tracker.

Beyond this, I currently serve as a PEP editor for the Python project and in a new role as a "Python Documentation Team Member" - I would hope to use experiences from these roles to offer context to the Docutils project.

I believe in absence of any other process that the decision over accepting me (or not!) would fall to David Goodger as "BDFN", but I welcome comment from anyone on my suitability.

Thanks,
Adam
