It should be understood that I came up with the sponsorship idea as a PEP author, core dev, and steering council member (which the steering council signed off on): - As a PEP editor because there's only so many of us and so I want PEPs to be as "done" as they can be by the time they come to the peps repo so there's less copy-editing - As a core dev because I don't want a discussion on python-dev to start until a PEP is in great shape and there won't be rehashing of previous ideas or any critical points missing - As a member of the steering council because if not a single core dev likes an idea then I'm not interested in considering a PEP because the steering council may help break stalemates but we are not about to against the entire Python core team (which is what we would be asked to do if not a single core dev wanted to back a PEP) In other words the hurdle of finding a sponsor is very deliberate.
