I hope you're not a solipsist.

Anyway, if the mere -discussion- of embracing a standard and safe way of
making C libraries callable from all the major Python implementations is
"going nowhere" before the discussion has even gotten started, I fear for
Python's future.

Repeat aloud to yourself: Python != CPython.  Python != CPython.  Python !=
CPython.

Has this topic been discussed to death?  If so, then say so.  It's rude to
try to kill the thread summarily before it gets started, sans discussion,
sans explanation, sans commentary on whether new additions to the topic have
surfaced or not.
