So I assume that the Wiki page that has a copy of the PEP should be
deleted, then?

I'm skeptical. It would be a long-term job, for 10 years or so. Even you
two (who had been contributing for a while already before taking it)
eventually stopped doing it, probably because people would edit their
PEPs themselves, anyway, and because really new PEP editors came along
so rarely. It's not surprising that the only time when the role of a
PEP editor gets mentioned is when people actually disagree with the
content being edited, but are silent if it is merely the process that
isn't being followed.
