PEPs (sorry I totally misspelled that before) have a editors who 
are responsible for scrutinizing the PEP before and as far as I 
understand are the ones who can request review from the BDFL 
(Guido), who either takes the final decision or delegates it 
(e.g. in cases were someone is better suited in the area to make 
the call). Editors are trusted core committers that are 
sponsoring an improvement.

The process is outline in great detail at 
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0001/#pep-workflow and I 
recommend reading it. Maybe we get some good ideas on how to 
create a process that is scalable and results in the high quality 
standards we have but are more suited towards the smaller 
community we are.

We should start small and see how we find something that Walter, 
you and contributors feel good about and improve from there:

might suit our needs.
