I counted the number of emails per PEP (sent to python-dev or
python-ideas) on the period Jan 2017 - April 2018:
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-committers/2018-April/005310.html

My script:
https://github.com/vstinner/misc/blob/master/python/parse_mailman_mbox_peps.py

I downloaded "[ Gzip'd Text 227 KB ]" links from
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/ and
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-ideas/ and then uncompressed
them.
