Something else the PEP needs is a new champion - my original interest
was to help lower barriers to Python 3 migration, but it's now more
about the general ergonmics of the bytes type, and I don't do enough
low level protocol work these days to have a strong opinion on that.

That new champion could be Elias, or else perhaps Ethan Furman (who
drove the last round of proposed updates to the PEP, which
unfortunately don't appear to have been submitted to the PEPs repo:

Cheers,
Nick.
