Usually against editorializing titles, but could you fix the typo in "Sofware"?

Also, can we fix the capitalization in "Receives" and for added clarity put "Wonderfully Welcoming Award" inside quotes?

I feel like the governments of the world need to put resources into some of these major spokes of technology. I know 1B is a lot of money, but the US throws that around. Imagine 1B into python. Nah, don't even imagine that, its too much money. Imagine 50M.

I'm somewhat surprised big tech hasnt lobbied for something like this. Maybe they like their silos. Everyone gets a cut, don't shake the boat.

I suspect smart people could fix the nightmare around dependencies and packaging for less than 3M, and the economic gains would be immeasurable.

I have mixed feelings about how "welcoming" PSF is for new contributors. On the one hand, I've managed to get a number of enhancements into CPython. On the other hand, I've fixed small longstanding issues (e.g. to docs) and had the change requests languish for years.
