Actually, I find typing "pep 8" into my browser's url bar gets me
there with one intermediate click :-)

[in much the same way I find IETF RFCs using "rfc 2822" in the url bar
for example]

It would be a bit of work to set up and maintain for only a small
gain, I think.

   http://python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008
   http://peps.python.org/peps-0008

is only a few characters difference, and the need to type in all the
extra 0s only a small inconvenience I think.
