Hi,

Xavier de Gaye is a Python core developer since June 3, 2016. I just
noticed that his grant wasn't logged in the devguide: it's now fixed
(online doc not up to date yet):
https://docs.python.org/devguide/developers.html#permissions-history

Xavier already pushed some changes to enhance Android support in
CPython 3.6. I helped him to learn the CPython workflow (Mercurial,
bug tracker, etc.).

I consider that he knows understand well the process and I don't need
to mentor him. But I will probably continue to help him to review his
patches, answer to questions, etc.

It looks like the Android port is also related to cross-compilation,
so it looks like CPython 3.6 will be easier to cross-compile as well.
Great!

For Android, the HQ is the "Meta-issue: support of the android platform"
https://bugs.python.org/issue26865
