Missing Sergipe/Brazil at new PyLadies chapters request

[Mariatta]

Thanks, I've added all the missing chapter requests

[Mariatta]

There are 20 pending new chapter requests, I would recommend handling the new chapter separately so the global meeting can focus on governance, not administration.

Yes, I agree with this. Let administration be different from governance to enhance easy balancing of duty/activity.
