Steve pointed out in his reply about how this might increase load as people will have to start trying to get people on side to vote the way they want. In US politics this is done by someone called a /whip/ who "whips up" votes for a bill. With 91 (or more if people start to come back to use their commit rights who have not added their GitHub usernames) of us getting grandfathered into this, people will be somewhat political in getting votes for or against PEPs they care about since only people post-Guido would be made core devs knowing they now have a vote on PEPs and thus take that into consideration when adding new members to the team.
That's an interesting point, but do you have any evidence of such phenomena in other open source projects? Just because something happens in US politics doesn't mean it's likely to happen in a technical project populated with volunteers.
Nope, no evidence (but I suspect most of what any of us are suggesting has something we can directly compare against 😉). This is just a potential worry of mine.
