Maybe python-ideas should only accept ideas in the form a link to a PEP draft and people would have to maintain there draft as long as it is not accepted.
Seems like you didn't read PEP 1 carefully enough:
"Vetting an idea publicly before going as far as writing a PEP is meant to save the potential author time. Many ideas have been brought forward for changing Python that have been rejected for various reasons...."
Asking people to write a PEP before discussing ideas would stifle discussion and innovation.
By not adding a PEP draft that is not accepted in a documentation database, we achieve one of the very first goal of a documentation database which is lowering the Noise Signal Ratio.
python-ideas is not a documentation database. It's a discussion list.
