Hi,

The steering council has implemented a new idea called sponsors to the PEP process (...). The thinking is that to help make sure PEPs from non-core developers receive appropriate guidance through the PEP process (...)

Hum, this isn't fully new, some PEPs already got a "PEP champion" (old name), no?

A recent example is PEP 572 who has been "championed" by Guido van Rossum, then by Tim Peters. In this specific case, they became co-authors :-)

... eventually becoming a co-author or BDFL-delegate later

Nitpick: since Python has no more BDFL, maybe the expression should becocme "PEP-delegate"? ;-)
