You already asked this question. Here is your answer:
http://docs.python.org/2/bugs.html#documentation-bugs shows this:

f you find a bug in this documentation or would like to propose an
improvement, please send an e-mail to (e-mail address removed) describing the
bug and where you found it. If you have a suggestion how to fix it,
include that as well.
(e-mail address removed) is a mailing list run by volunteers; your request will
be noticed, even if it takes a while to be processed.
Of course, if you want a more persistent record of your issue, you can
use the issue tracker for documentation bugs as well.

By the way, I found this link by going to google and searching for
"how to submit documentation bug to python.org"

Come on Aseem. Pick up your game a little bit. You actually have the
opportunity to get the documentation changed for the better, or you
can just keep asking the same question.

That is the documentation and this is about the PEP. I didn't realize that the same works for both. I'll do that.

The problem with that documentation link is that it says the bugs in that documentation should be mailed at that e-mail address. But the PEPs are not the part of the documentation. I am saying that PEPs are not its part because when I downloaded the documentation it did not contain the PEPs.

So the information in the documentation is misleading because it doesn't include the PEPs in the downloaded version but the e-mail address is used to accept PEP bugs according to you people.

peps at python dot org
is the e-mail suggested in PEP1 for contacting the PEP editors. I e-mailed there and got a reply.
