Hello,

I am well aware of the current governance issues, but several people have mentioned that the BDFL-Delegate process can still continue for now. Really? I don't know process to assign BDFL-delegate without BDFL.

AFAIU, there is not yet a documented process for BDFL-delegate assignment.

There's this in the devguide; which links to PEP1:

"20.2. PEP Process¶" https://devguide.python.org/langchanges/#pep-process https://github.com/python/devguide/blob/master/langchanges.rst

And PEP 1:

"PEP 1 -- PEP Purpose and Guidelines" "PEP Workflow" https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0001/#pep-workflow "PEP Editors" https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0001/#pep-editors "PEP Editor Responsibilities & Workflow" https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0001/#pep-editor-responsibilities-workflow

https://github.com/python/peps/blob/master/pep-0001.txt

And the devguide has a list of experts: https://devguide.python.org/experts/

Maybe PEP1 is the place to list current BDFL-Delegates (in addition to in the PEP metadata as in the OT PR: python/peps#797 "PEP 580: Petr Viktorin as BDFL-Delegate" )?

Not to bikeshed, but is BDFL-Delegate still the current term because that's what's in all the other PEPs' metadata?

This PEP is mainly for third party tools. I want to get much feedback from them before new APIs become stable (e.g. 3.8b1) So I want this PEP is approved (or Provisionally Accepted) and reference implementation is merged as fast as possible. Regards,
