"Active" doesn't apply to standards track PEPs, no matter how active the
discussion ;-).  It's procedural formality.  According to PEP 1:

    Some Informational PEPs may also have a status of "Active" if they
    are never meant to be completed.  E.g. PEP 1.

PEPs that *are* meant to be completed go Draft -> Accepted -> Final (or ->
Rejected if unsuccessful), after which they become historical record.
