Dates and Deadlines
In general, Python will ask mentors to do things before the Google deadline. This allows our admins time to make sure that evaluations, etc. are complete and ready for Google when their deadline comes. (The whole organization gets penalized if anyone's late, so we make sure that doesn't happen unfairly.) Contributor deadlines are exactly as Google tells you, although getting things done earlier is never a bad idea!
