Is MartelliBot featured? Alex Martelli did sooo much for the success of python in the early days.

He was patient, informative and above all extremely thoughtful in his stackoverflow responses. He was also very generous with his talks, all of which added to the rich ecosystem Python had back in the day.

I didn't see him and he is not on the list:

"Armin Ronacher, Barry Warsaw, Benjamin Peterson, Brett Cannon, Drew Houston, Guido van Rossum, Jessica McKellar, Ken Manheimer, Lambert Meertens, Lisa Guo, Lisa Roach, Mariatta Wijaya, Paul Everitt, Patrice Lyons, Peter Wang, Robin Friedrich, Robert Kahn, Sjoerd Mullender, Steven Pemberton, Tim O'Reilly, Ton Roosendaal, and Travis Oliphant"

I believe he also coined the term duck typing.
