PEP editor as a PEP sponsor #73
Comments
PEP 1 says it's allowed with approval from the Steering Council, so you're in the right place!
|
As background, I have been a core developer on https://github.com/python/typeshed/ and https://github.com/python/mypy for a few years, and more recently I have become a PEP editor and a triager on the CPython repo. |
I thought we had a standing rule that PEP editors could sponsor PEPs since they obviously know how a PEP should be structured and handled? |
Not in PEP 1 (Hugo linked the relevant text above), and if that rule is present somewhere else I'm not aware of it. |
Bumping this in the hope that it'll make the next SC agenda. Maybe before ruling about the general case (which might require a long discussion) the SC could quickly decide that it's okay for Jelle to sponsor the specific PEP we're talking about here? (That PEP is about adding +T and -T to indicate co-/contra-variance for type variables.) |
Thanks @gvanrossum - I've pinged the SC to see if we can provide an answer before our next meeting. |
@gvanrossum The SC is fine with @JelleZijlstra being the PEP Sponsor for this PEP. |
There's nothing more to do for this ticket, closing. |
So there's no ruling on the general case and no update to PEP 1 to bring it in line with Brett's recollection? |
What exactly should PEP 1 be updated to say? Do you mind submitting a PR against PEP 1 to change the language? |
Sure, see python/peps#2112 |
For my PEP, @gvanrossum proposed that @JelleZijlstra would make an appropriate sponsor (see python/peps#2045
), as he has been helping me with the PEP since I first suggested the feature in python/typing#813. However, @JelleZijlstra is not a core developer, and I came to understand that this is not allowed. Would it be possible to make an exception to this rule?
