Most of PEP writing (at least for a PEP like this)  is capturing the debate
and conclusions and capturing and moderating the discussion to some extent
-- technical knowledge is the least of it.

I expect you'll get plenty of help on the technical issues if there are any
(I'm say if, 'cause at this point it doesn't look like anyone is proposing
any *new* functionality, it's really just moving and renaming things.

I suggest by starting with the a PEP outpine from a previous PEP, getting
it into a a gitHub repo (it can start in your own account somewhere, then
go through this thread to start sorting out the issues.

I say gitHub repo 'cause then it's easy to publish and collect comments and
improvements in a central place
