Never mind, I found the patch and the issue. I really think that the *PEP* is ready for inclusion after the open issues are changed into something like Discussion or Future Work, and after adding a more prominent link to the issue with the patch. Then the *patch* can be reviewed some more until it is ready -- it looks very close already.
