Django's new governance model

Starting today, Django has a new governance model. Previously, a small “core team” made most decisions, including electing a Technical Board to own decisions about each release. Now, the “core team” is gone; all power rests with the Technical Board. Anyone who’s made substantial contributions to Django is now eligible to run, and the board is now elected by the DSF Membership at large. You can read more about the change in today’s announcement, and if you want to full details they’re in DEP 10.
