You shouldn't need a PEP for a two line change in a standard library
module. File an issue with the patch attached - normally when I've filed
issues, someone has responded within a day or two, though sometimes I've
needed to prod a bit to keep it on the radar after the initial response.

Of course, the downside to that approach is that, as it's a new feature,
you won't be able to use it until Python 3.6 (3.5 is already in feature
freeze, I believe). But even so, it's good to have advance planning to do
things the way you want to.
