...but it's not enough. Python is a delicate "beast" that I think it
requires a group of people. (and again, as a personal idea, only
accepting people which doko is fine with will reduce a lot the
candidates, for sure a huge part of the most skilled ones, guess why.)

ehm, I think that's exactly what the CTTE wants to avoid: being asked
of any decisions like this; instead, if I got it right, they want to
find a self-sustainable solution, that will work out by itself without
a continue appeal to CTTE.
