This is a cool article. If you want to understand how to contribute to python there is a guide at https://devguide.python.org

Be aware, however, that the inner circle will use you, take your contributions, and, if you develop own opinions, publicly ban and defame you without any possibility of setting any record straight.

pyhton-dev is a corporate shark tank where only personalities and employer matter (good code or ideas are optional).

That's not at all my experience. I contributed often to CPython by filling many issues and also one PR, and the whole process was very reasonable.

The issue is whether the dominant people in a project are still reasonable after your 100th PR!

Being nice to new people is a standard tactic for any divide-and-conquer organization. The politicians get more followers and get free positive comments on the internet that drown out criticism. The politicians don't have to work (some of them literally never did in CPython) and can pose as leaders and managers.
