<br>
</span>True, but there was some discussion of this way back when.<br>
<br>
The way I remember it was that, while there are many outlets to discuss PEPs (including those pointed to by the optional Discussions-To header), python-dev is the “forum of recordâ€. This means that python-dev is the only mailing list you *have* to follow if you want to be informed of a PEP’s status in a timely manner. Thus Post-History is supposed to reflect the history of when the PEP is sent to python-dev. python-list is included because it’s the primary mailing list followed by people who aren’t developing Python but are still interested in it.<br>
<br>
Maybe this needs to be reconsidered here in 2017, but that’s the rationale for the wording of PEP 1.<br>
<br>
