Hi Jonathan,
seems like basically just Wen-Wei, Jabier and t0b3 would fulfill the contribution selection criteria (if you exclude the previous contractor). Or did I overlook any repos with Python code?
And this is just counting commits, not MRs, so they might not even qualify (see screenshot at https://office.inkscape.org/nextcloud/index.php/s/DMX7L8H7ZpxXEDe).
Are you sure there are enough candidates? Or do you already have one in mind?...
It would have to be Wen-Wei, as Jabier is on a break, and t0b3 is not a project member...
I'd suggest being less restrictive about the filter criteria, as currently, it looks like it's just a single candidate anyway - then you could also just drop those.

@listmod: please discard the previous messages with the too large screenshot attachments, thanks!

Hi Maren,
thanks for the remark. There is also https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extras/extension-afdesign/-/commits/main/?ref_ty....
I think it should be fine, but I'm open to relaxing the requirements so that all Inkscape members are eligible to apply.

I vote a.
Thanks Jonathan!

Hi Jonathan,
yes, that was actually on the screenshot, but I overlooked it...
Maybe because it didn't show numbers directly...
So the suggestion is geared towards Manpreet Singh?
Honestly, yes, I would like the requirements to be relaxed, as the number of serious candidates is still only 2.
Thanks for listening, Maren

I vote A. Thanks Jonathan for preparing this and pushing forward on it. I think getting rid of these blockers for people adopting Inkscape is important.
