Hi folks,

Brett recently posted about the update to PEP 1 that added the PEP Sponsor role, but folks may not have noticed that we've also made the amendments needed to allow the PEP decision making process to restart: https://github.com/python/peps/pull/896/files

This is the smallest change to PEP 1 that we consider potentially viable: handling all PEPs through the BDFL-Delegate model, with the Steering Council's primary involvement being to appoint the delegates (or accept their volunteering), once a PEP has reached the point of being actively reviewed.

We'll also act as an ongoing consulting resource for anyone that takes on the BD role for a PEP.

We're currently working through the follow-up activity, which is to review the list of Draft PEPs, and work out which ones are at a point where assigning a BDFL-Delegate makes sense.

Cheers, Nick. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/attachments/20190311/d5cd5e33/attachment.html>
