There are a couple of outstanding issues that I am aware of, but I don't believe that either of these affect acceptance/rejection of the PEP. Please correct me if I am wrong. 1) Implementation details of the statistics.sum function. Oscar is giving me a lot of very valuable assistance speeding up the implementation of sum. 2) The current implementation has extensive docstrings, but will also need a separate statistics.rst file.

I don't recall any other outstanding issues, if I have forgotten any, please remind me.

Those certainly don't stand in the way of the PEP's acceptance (but they do block the commit of the code :-).

The issues that Oscar listed also all seem resolved (though they would make a nice addition to the "Discussion" section in the PEP).
