After a couple of rounds of iteration on linux-sig and python-ideas, I'm now bringing it to python-dev as a concrete proposal for Python 3.7.

In terms of resolving this PEP, if Guido doesn't feel inclined to wade into the intricacies of legacy C locale handling, Barry has indicated he'd be happy to act as BDFL-Delegate :) Hi Nick and Barry, I'd very much appreciate if you two could resolve this without involving me.

OK, I've added Barry to the PEP as BDFL-Delegate: https://github.com/python/peps/commit/4c46c5710031cac03a8d1ab7639272957998a1cc

Thanks for the quick response!

Cheers, Nick.
