FWIW, I'm thinking about withdrawing it because PEP 8016 captures my highest priorities (specifically, core developers don't have a monopoly on decision-making skills, and don't apply unnecessary constraints on whoever leads in this PEP). The rest of my proposal is just enough detail to be functional, but I'm not really wedded to it, so if there's an alternative that mirrors the core values then I'll tell people to go vote for that instead of mine.
Interesting. I considered the distinguishing feature of your proposal to be that it explicitly *excludes* core devs from the council (to the extent that you call out that feature as what distinguishes it from 8011). I wasn't keen on that, so I never really got much beyond that aspect of your proposal to be honest - so it's weird to me that you don't think it's particularly significant.
But thanks for the clarification. Paul
That was mainly just the easiest way to deal with conflicts of interest, but it was always a point that I'd bargain away if people were really upset about it :)
I'm sure we'll find sensible ways to deal with people who want to get elected just to pass their own PEPs.
Cheers, Steve
