I have one comment on PEP 345: Why is author-email mandatory? I'm sure there are plenty of cases where either the author doesn't want their email address published, or their last know email address is no longer valid. (Tarek responded off-line that it isn't all that mandatory; I propose to say so in the PEP.) Yes, I propose to remove the mandatory flag from that field.

Since this is done I now approve both PEP 345 and PEP 386 (which is not to say that small editorial changes to the text couldn't be made).
