I would say the difference that before, the non-committer proposer just<br>
needed to convince some committer that the PEP was 'a good idea' and<br>
worth being discussed. Now, that person needs to persuade some committer<br>
that not only is it a good idea, but that it is worth the committer<br>
committing themselves to supporting the proposer through the process.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>What Richard said. Before, PEP editors would make sure a PEP was basically grammatically correct and not totally bonkers, but otherwise didn't make judgments. Now we're saying there needs to be a core dev to help you through the process to help make sure you will be successful and at least <i>someone</i> thinks it's a good idea.<br></div><div><br></div><div>-Brett<br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
