[$] Python elects a steering council

After a two-week voting period, which followed a two-week nomination
window, Python now has its governance
back in place—with a familiar name in the mix.
As specified in PEP 13 ('Python
Language Governance'), five nominees were elected to the steering council,
which will govern the language moving forward.
It may come as a surprise to some that Guido van
Rossum, whose resignation as benevolent dictator for life (BDFL)
led to the need for a
new governance model and, ultimately, to
the vote for a
council, was one of the 17 candidates. It is perhaps much
less surprising that he was elected
to share the duties he once wielded
solo.
