I suggested off-list that, as Python 2.7 release manager, Benjamin would be a good candidate for BDFL-Delegate for this proposal, and both Guido and Benjamin agreed. The PEP has been updated accordingly: http://hg.python.org/peps/rev/909954e4ba43 (I also fixed a copy-and-paste error in the PEP status!)

... and accepted. Let's make our users' lives' better!.
