Thanks to everyone who applied!

Due to the large number of applicants, we will not be able to provide a
final decision by November 27th, but will work to provide at least a
preliminary status to everyone by November 27th, and final decisions to
all applicants by December 4th. (I've updated the RfP timeline:
https://github.com/python/request-for/blob/master/2020-pip/RFP.md#timeline
) I'm sorry for the delay.
