I was going over the PEP index this morning, and I noticed a large number of PEPs listed under the "open" list that would seem to me to be "accepted", if not "done" in some cases, according to the criteria described by the headings. (Specifically, PEPs 218, 237, 273, 282, 283, 301, 302, 305, and 307.)
Some of those (e.g. 237) have multiple stages and ought to remain open until the last stage is implemented. 283 ought to remain open until Python 2.3 final is released. Some others need to be brought in line with what ended up being implemented. Authors with commit privileges can update their own PEPs; others can send patches or new versions to the PEP editors.
The PEP list has an additional heading called "Accepted"; currently only 252 and 253 are in that category. I would've thought that the ones like 237 and 283 that are not "Done" but are definitely "accepted" would go under that "Accepted" heading. It's not a big deal, but it's very hard to see from the list which things are "in progress", "need revisions", or are "unlikely to make it". So since I already took the trouble to work out the answers for myself, I thought I'd offer to help the next person who came along. :)
