I don't think I'd want to see tons of new PEP repos under the current `python` 
organization.  Maybe we should create a new organization for this experiment?

Also, since non-core devs can and do create PEPs, the permission management 
will be different than the normal repos.  Clearly the PEP authors should be 
owners of the individual repos, but they should probably also decide how merges 
happen, and who else can contribute to their repo.

It also means that PEP editors probably have an additional responsibility to 
create the PEP repo.

PEP 1's Discussions-To header can probably be co-opted for the URL to the GH 
repo.  Right now, that field is described as an email address, but it would be 
appropriate IMHO to also allow a URL for discussions.

I don't know whether this will help focus rambling PEP discussions.  I 
personally don't love the linearity of GH comments.  Threading is useful!

OTOH, it seems like a low-cost experiment to try so if there's a volunteer who 
wants to be the guinea pig, I'm fine with it.
