I assume people will start threads about their PEPs to discuss them here
(I'm also personally fine with discussing on Zulip, but I don't know how
others feels about that). The one thing I would say is I would propose all
discussion threads have a subject line that clearly denotes which PEP is
being discussed to help keep it straight (e.g. "[PEP 8011] ..."). That way
it's easy to keep the threads straight.

Raymond agreed to write up the approach we all agreed upon in our little
breakout group as a draft PEP so they can be presented here to make sure
people overall are happy with the ideas we reached consensus on. I'm not
sure what his ETA is on that, but we were tentatively aiming for the last
half of November for a vote so there isn't a hard deadline to have it
posted and agreed to necessarily within the week (although obviously we
would want to make sure people have plenty of notice of when the voting
will occur so people aren't taken by surprise).
