Okay, I get it now. I don't know how many core developers are actually following python-ideas. If you are serious about putting time into this yourself, maybe the best thing you could do would be to start a draft for such a document, put it in the Wiki (with some kind of "draft" or "tentative" disclaimer) and post it to python-dev (as well as here) to get the core devs' attention.
One specific idea I was considering along these lines when I get back to my PEP 0 fiddling was to separate the big pile of Deferred/Rejected/Withdrawn/Finished PEPs a bit more. In particular, the Deferred PEPs are generally things where the idea being proposed is seen as having some merit, but there are fundamental issues with the proposal which prevent it from being accepted. We could separate those out and expand them to cover "wish list" PEPs which spec out something we would like to do, but don't really have any idea as to how yet.
