+Developer Log
+=============
+
+This file is a running log of developers given commit privileges for Python.
+
+The purpose is to provide some institutional memory of who was given access
+and why.
+
+The first entry starts in April 2005. In keeping with the style of
+Misc/NEWS, newer entries should be added to the top.
+Entries should include the initials of the
+project admin who made the change or granted access.
+
+Note, when giving new commit permissions, be sure to get a contributor
+agreement from the committer. See http://www.python.org/psf/contrib/
+for details. When the agreement is signed, please note it in this log.
+
+This file is encoded in UTF-8. If the usual form for a name is not in
+a Latin or extended Latin alphabet, make sure to include an ASCII
+transliteration too.
