Hello,

I would like to propose Petr Viktorin as BDFL-Delegate for PEP 580, titled "The C call protocol". He has co-authored several PEPs (PEP 394, PEP 489, PEP 534, PEP 547, PEP 573), several of which involve extension modules. Petr has agreed to become BDFL-Delegate for PEP 580 if asked. Also Antoine Pitrou, INADA Naoki and Nick Coghlan have approved Petr being BDFL-Delegate.

To me, three experienced core devs approving of a 4th person as PEP-examiner is sufficient to proceed on a CPython implementation proposal. I don't think we need to be paralyzed on this. And indeed, when it comes to sub-PEP C-API changes, we seem not to be. This change, if made, should be early in the cycle for the next version, rather than landing just before the first beta.

A language syntax-change proposal would be something else.
