The draft PEPs will still be updated on python.org when something is
coherent enough for additional discussion (I should clarify that in the
README). Aside from adding an issue tracker and pull request support, this
change is about creating a public record of *all* the changes that persists
across PEP number changes when we do a new version of one of the
specifications.

Cheers,
Nick.
