It has been my understanding that some PEPs may be discussed on specialized mailings lists, but a notice would be given on python-dev prior to any acceptance.

No, that only applies for changes that actually impact the reference interpreter or the standard library - those still need to be discussed and approved on python-dev.

For changes that are wholly decoupled from the reference interpreter (like PyPI behavioural changes), the delegation of authority to the relevant SIG is more complete:

================= PEP review and resolution may also occur on a list other than python-dev (for example, distutils-sig for packaging related PEPs that don't immediately affect the standard library). In this case, the "Discussions-To" heading in the PEP will identify the appropriate alternative list where discussion, review and pronouncement on the PEP will occur.
