It would be nice if there was a guide on using Python-ideas and writing PEPs. It would make it less obscure.

For any proposal that actually has currency, this system does work
The trouble is the ambiguity of knowing what "actually has currency" is and how to get it. PEP 1 states, "Following a discussion on python-ideas, the proposal should be submitted as a draft PEP via a GitHub pull request." However, PEP 1 does not give instruction on how to evaluate whether that discussion has been completed satisfactorily.
Fair point. However, if there's enough in an idea that it's worth pushing forward, and too much for it to just go straight to the issue tracker or a GitHub PR, someone will usually recommend it at some point. In borderline cases, the decision of whether it's PEP-worthy or not generally comes down to "is someone willing to write and shepherd the PEP" - it's a fair bit of work, and a lot of incoming emails to deal with.
