Steering Council vote on new Merger (Jacob Walls)

Django Internals
1

Hi all,

As recently announced, Jacob Walls has been appointed by the DSF board to be a Django Fellow.

In accordance with DEP 10, we need to vote on appointing new people as Mergers :grin:

I would like to propose that Jacob is granted the Merger role.
Jacob is a member of Django’s Triage and Review team and has a good understanding of the Django contribution process. He has authored and reviewed many patches to Django.
This role is also needed for him to perform in the Fellow position effectively.

The question the @steering_council is voting on is: “Shall Jacob Walls be granted the role of Merger?”.

Allowable votes from Steering Council members are +1, 0, or -1, and must contain a statement as to the voter’s reasoning. We must reach +3 for the vote to pass.

Voting will be open for one week from today, so until 19th Aug 2025 at 8am UTC.

Hey @sarahboyce, thanks for opening the two related threads here. As per the previous announcement, we paused the documented voting procedure. (It’s on our agenda to begin the refresh of that process in the autumn now.)

The @steering_council have discussed and we approve both steps to have @jacobtylerwalls added to the releaser and merger teams. :racing_car:

Welcome aboard @jacobtylerwalls — we’re looking forward to working with you! :sailboat:
