-Issue Tracker
-'''''''''''''
-
-If you did not gain the Developer role in the `issue tracker`_ before gaining
-commit privileges, please say so. The role allows issues to be assigned to you,
-and it allows you to triage (e.g. close or reassign) issues.
-
-A tracker admin should also flip your "is committer" bit in the tracker's
-account screen. This will add the Python logo next to your name in discussions
-on the tracker. Note that this is separate from the Developer role.
-
-It is expected that on the issue tracker you have a username in the form of
-"first_name.last_name". If your initial issue tracker username is not of this
-form, please change it. This is so that it is easier to assign issues to the
-right person.

-GitHub

-
-You will be added to the ``Python core team`` on GitHub. This will give you
-rights to commit to various repositories under the `Python organization`_
-on GitHub. When you are initially added you will be emailed by GitHub with
-an invitation to join the team. Please accept the invite in the email or
-go to https://github.com/python and accept the invite there.
-
-An entry in the :ref:`developers` should also be entered for you.
-Typically the person who sponsored your application to become a core developer
-makes sure an entry is created for you.
