The main things required to be a PEP champion are passion and a willingness to listen to expert feedback and change course in response. If someone lacks the former, they will lose steam and their PEP will eventually be abandoned. If they don't listen to expert feedback, then their PEP will ultimately be rejected (sometimes a PEP will be rejected anyway as a poor fit for the language *despite* being responsive to feedback, but that's no slight to the PEP author). Victor has shown himself to be quite capable of handling those aspects of the PEP process, and the topics he has recently applied himself to are ones where it is worthwhile having a good answer in the standard library for Python 3.3.
