Make it clear that the PEP editors can only review a completed PEP for

style and consistency.  The BDFL (by way of python-dev) is the final
arbiter of the PEP for its acceptance into the language.

PEP Review & Resolution

Once the authors have completed a PEP, they must inform the PEP editors
that it is ready for review. PEPs are reviewed by the BDFL and his
chosen consultants, who may accept or reject a PEP or send it back to
the author(s) for revision. For a PEP that is predetermined to be
acceptable (e.g., it is an obvious win as-is and/or its implementation
has already been checked in) the BDFL may also initiate a PEP review,
first notifying the PEP author(s) and giving them a chance to make
revisions.
Once the authors have completed a PEP, they may request a review for
style and consistency from the PEP editors. However, the content and
final acceptance of the PEP must be requested of the BDFL, usually via
an email to the python-dev mailing list. PEPs are reviewed by the
BDFL and his chosen consultants, who may accept or reject a PEP or
send it back to the author(s) for revision. For a PEP that is
