The PEP list has an additional heading called "Accepted"; currently only 
252 and 253 are in that category.  I would've thought that the ones like 
237 and 283 that are not "Done" but are definitely "accepted" would go 
under that "Accepted" heading.

It's not a big deal, but it's very hard to see from the list which things 
are "in progress", "need revisions", or are "unlikely to make it".  So 
since I already took the trouble to work out the answers for myself, I 
thought I'd offer to help the next person who came along.  :)
