Is this post long enough to be a candidate for a PEP?! A PEP will likely be needed eventually for the actual addition to the standard library - while the respective parties are still working on the "best of both worlds" merger idea, a page on the Wiki is probably a better idea.

A PEP isn't necessary for addition of an existing 3rd party library to the stdlib. However a PEP would be useful if the plan is to design a new API (even if it's a merger of two existing ones).
