Hi,

Paul Ganssle just asked me to close a bug which he fixed. Instead, I
just gave him the bug triage permission :-)

Paul is the author of dateutil:
https://github.com/dateutil/dateutil

He is fixing more and more datetime issues for longer than 1 year,
including some tricky and very old issues:
https://github.com/python/cpython/commits?author=pganssle

For example, he implemented .fromisoformat() which was a long awaited feature:
https://docs.python.org/dev/library/datetime.html#datetime.date.fromisoformat

Recently, he got the approval to change how datetime subclasses are
handled, feature very useful for third-party libraries written on top
of datetime:
https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/89427cd0feae25bbc8693abdccfa6a8c81a2689c

I'm happy to see him helping Alexander Belopopsky (current datetime
maintainer), on maintaining datime, who is more busy these days. By
the way, they met each other ;-)

I sent Paul instructions how to triage bug and links into the devguide.
I asked him to ask me before closing a bug.

Congrats Paul ;-)

Victor
