- identify the current PEP editors and clarify their role
- separate out PEP administrative email from design discussion

- it's OK to get a PEP number before a PEP is ready for python-dev
- eliminate most of the ambiguous 'we' references

* Changed the "PEP Template" section to "PEP Formats and Templates",
in which plaintext and reStructuredText PEPs are described.
* Added "PEP Header Preamble" heading, for the RFC 2822 header
description.
- Rearranged some descriptions to match the header order.
- Removed the colons from header field names (e.g., "the Author
header").
- Added a description of the Content-Type header.
* Moved the plaintext-PEP-specific "PEP Formatting Requirements"

- In "it's not like such decisions can be reversed", "can" should be
"can't"; fixed.
