I would suggest that, as PEP author, you guide the conversation a bit
by asking specific questions that you want to answer in the PEP.
Steven's not the only one who's been seeing an awful lot of emails
lately; I've just been skimming them, myself. But you could reboot the
conversation by starting up some very specific discussion on points
that will actually affect the PEP, and then things will hopefully be
fresh and interesting again :)
