 Reporting PEP Bugs, or Submitting PEP Updates
 
-    Please use the SourceForge bug manager[6] if you want to report
-    problems with PEPs, or better yet, the SourceForge patch
-    manager[2] for submitting patches to PEPs.
+    How you report a bug, or submit a PEP update depends on several
+    factors, such as the maturity of the PEP, the preferences of the
+    PEP author, and the nature of your comments.  For the early draft
+    stages of the PEP, it's probably best to send your comments and
+    changes directly to the PEP author.  For more mature, or finished
+    PEPs you may want to submit corrections to the SourceForge bug
+    manager[6] or better yet, the SourceForge patch manager[2] so that
+    your changes don't get lost.  If the PEP author is a SF developer,
+    assign the bug/patch to him, otherwise assign it to the PEP
+    editor.
+
+    When in doubt about where to send your changes, please check first
+    with the PEP author and/or PEP editor.
