Introduce the concept of sponsors by brettcannon · Pull Request #903 · python/peps (original) (raw)

If "The sponsor's job is to provide guidance to the PEP
author to help them through the PEP process (somewhat acting like mentor)", then wouldn't it better be called "mentor" instead of "sponsor"? To me, the word "sponsor" conveys a somewhat different meaning, namely that the sponsor should also strongly support the actual PEP.
