But there are lots of people who might be interested in following PEP updates but not other checkins. Pretty much anyone who considers themselves a "user" of Python not a developer. Perhaps they don't even know C. That's a lot to filter through for such people. (After all, I sure HOPE that only a small fraction of checkins are for PEPs not code.) I'm +0 on it... but I'll mention that if such a list were created I'd subscribe. So maybe that's +0.2 instead.

As an experiment, I just added a PEP topic to the python-checkins mailing list. You could subscribe to this list and just select the PEP topic (which matches the regex "PEP" in the Subject header or first few lines of the body).

Give it a shot and let's see if that does the trick. -Barry
