 -----------------------
 
-Once the authors have completed a PEP, they must inform the PEP editors

-acceptable (e.g., it is an obvious win as-is and/or its implementation
-has already been checked in) the BDFL may also initiate a PEP review,
-first notifying the PEP author(s) and giving them a chance to make
-revisions.
