+Transferring PEP Ownership
+
+    It occasionally becomes necessary to transfer ownership of PEPs to
+    a new champion.  In general, we'd like to retain the original
+    author as a co-author of the transferred PEP, but that's really up
+    to the original author.  A good reason to transfer ownership is
+    because the original author no longer has the time or interest in
+    updating it or following through with the PEP process, or has
+    fallen off the face of the 'net (i.e. is unreachable or not
+    responding to email).  A bad reason to transfer ownership is
+    because you don't agree with the direction of the PEP.  We try to
+    build consensus around a PEP, but if that's not possible, you can
+    always submit a competing PEP.
+
+    If you are interested assuming ownership of a PEP, send a message
+    asking to take over, addressed to both the original author and the
+    PEP editor <peps@python.org>.  If the original author doesn't
+    respond to email in a timely manner, the PEP editor will make a
+    unilateral decision (it's not like such decisions can be
+    reversed. :).
