* https://github.com/nicoddemus (leaving)

* https://github.com/blueyed

* https://github.com/RonnyPfannschmidt (leaving)

* https://github.com/asottile (leaving)

* https://github.com/bluetech (elevated last month to core)

* https://github.com/thisch (last in mid 2019)

Honestly, I didn't realize pytest was such a German product. Fascinating.
