Where does all the effort go? Looking at Python core developer activity

Where does all the effort go? Looking at Python core developer activity - Łukasz Langa.
One of the tasks given me by the Python Software Foundation as part of the Developer in Residence job was to look at the state of CPython as an active software development project.

In this post I’m looking into our Git repository history and our Github PR data to find answers.
