I think this is too decentralized. I think there should be enthusiasm for the delegate, say two "seconds" (with discussion of why they think the delegate is appropriate) besides the PEP proponent(s). > Often PEP authors have a pretty good idea of who can be a delegate for > a PEP.

I think you (disclaimer: I'm a social scientist, but not a committer) should be careful that delegates be broadly respected, and where possible have interests in other areas of Python development besides the one they're delegate for. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
