Hi Brett,

I like to see discussions where a PEP has been disccussed. There is the "Post History" just gives dates. The problem is that PEPs are discussed on 3 mailing lists: python-ideas, python-dev and python-committers. Maybe some PEP are now also discussed on discuss.python.org.

Do you have any recommendation to referer to these discussions?

I would like to suggest to add URLs to the first messages of all threads about a PEP... Well... I know that for PEP 572, this list would be hard to create and maybe not really useful. Maybe not add links to all threads, but only the most actives or most "useful" threads? The PEP author would be free to decide which threads are important or not ;-)

The status quo (Post History header) is fine, if I really want to find these discussions, I'm able to find them from dates :-)

Victor

https://github.com/python/peps/blob/master/pep-0012.rst now has a complete list of header fields along with format clues for easier copy-and-paste use in creating a new PEP. There is also a section template with one-liner explanations for what each section is for so people don't accidentally leave anything out. They are not in a single, unified template to copy to partially make sure people actually read the PEP before they start writing. :)
