python-dev is the equivalent of perl5-porters.  However, Perl hasn't
previously had a formal mechanism such as PEPs; a bunch of RFCs were
written for Perl 6, but who knows if such formality will continue once
actual development starts?  It seems like a curious cultural
difference; c.l.python posters often suggest new language features,
while in the Perl and Tcl groups, there are very few postings which
suggest language changes.
