What does that have to do with "completion of discussion"?  I don't
know what the editor told you, but in the PEP "proper title" is well-
defined and not very stringent: "accurately describes the content".

Good point.

That's definitely grounds for refusing to approve the PEP, but the
approval criteria are in the section "PEP Editor Responsibilities &
Workflow".  I'm submitting a pull request (python/peps #789 on GitHub)
to also put it in the section "Submitting a PEP", under the bullet
"The PEP editors review your PR for structure, formatting, and other
errors."
