I was looking at the other Open Issues on PEP 3134, think I might try to resolve them as well, and discovered via testing that they have already been taken care of.

Is there an established way to get information like that? I realize that PEPs are partly historical documents, but it would it make sense to add a note after an Open Issue (or any other section) that was refined, resolved, or whatever in a later PEP or bug or patch or ...*

If that kind of thing comes up, updating the PEP directly is definitely a reasonable way to clarify things. If people want to see the exact state of the PEP when it was accepted, they're all under version control. What we actually do depends on the specifics of the PEP, though (and whether or not anyone feels motivated to clarify things!).

Cheers, Nick.
