I agree that the title of PEP 374 could be adjusted to better reflect
its eventual contents. Perhaps "Selecting a Distributed VCS to replace
SVN". Or we could just add a question mark: "Migration from SVN to a
Distributed VCS?". The PEP really addresses that question.

Thanks!

I believe that you don't actually have to edit the index any more,
it's generated automatically (PEP 1 may need to be revised to reflect
this). Please just claim the next PEP number when you commit.
Currently that's pep-0384.txt (of course, please do an "svn update"
before committing to be sure). Check the PEP index a few minutes later
to confirm.
