I don’t see any requirement to post PEPs to python-dev if they have a Discussions-To header in PEP 1. I don’t really think it makes sense in this case either tbh, PyPI, pip, and setuptools are not under python-dev’s banner. We use PEPs because they are a convenient way to manage change (and we’ve even discussed recently not using PEPs for packaging things that don’t have anything to do with the standard library and moving to a more lightweight process more akin to the Rust RFC process for various reasons).
