[$] Picking a governance model for Python

The Python language project has been officially 'leaderless' since the
mid-July announcement that Guido van Rossum
was stepping down. He is, of course, the founder of the language and had
served for more than two decades as its Benevolent Dictator for Life
(BDFL). But he did not appoint a successor and left it up to the project's core developers to
come up with a new governance structure. In the three months since, a
great deal of work has gone into that effort, which has to bootstrap itself
since there was not even any mechanism to choose how to select a new
governance model.
