Nope. We don't like paperwork anymore than you or anyone else.

I would say the difference that before, the non-committer proposer just
needed to convince some committer that the PEP was 'a good idea' and
worth being discussed. Now, that person needs to persuade some committer
that not only is it a good idea, but that it is worth the committer
committing themselves to supporting the proposer through the process.
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 someone thinks it's a good idea.
