PEPs cannot be approved since July. It seems like we will not be able
to approve PEPs before January, even if a governance PEP is approved
and a new council/committee/whatever is elected.

There was a discussion abouge BDFL-delegate for Jeroen Demeyer's PEP
580 which has been somehow blocked (sorry, I didn't follow closely the
discussion, so I'm not sure of the outcome).

I would prefer the situation to be unblocked as soon as possible to
unblock Python 3.8. Otherwise, Python 3.8 will be the release of the
governance crisis with no large new features.

I know that at least two core developers have pending PEPs that they
didn't publish because there is nobody to approve PEPs.
