Proposal: new peps always in clpa

Hi,

would it be a good idea to automatically sumbit all new peps to
comp.lang.python.announce? After all, each PEP is an announcement and
may be important to the entire Python community. Another possibility
would be to python-dev, but since c.l.py.announce has a broader public,
I'd prefer the first one. What do you think?

That's a good idea, but c.l.py.announce needs to have its Followup-To:
set to c.l.py. I think I asked for that once before, but didn't get a
response.

I think Followup-To: should be set to c.l.py for _any_ posting in
c.l.py.announce, not only for peps, but that is another issue
altogether.

Exactly. But currently most announcements to c.l.py.announce don't spawn
discussion, so it hasn't been a critical issue; until Followup-To is
fixed, I'm opposed to requiring PEPs to be posted there. Note that it's
not trivial, because c.l.py.a has a gateway to an e-mail list, where
Reply-To: should be set. It'll likely require some Mailman work -- and
c.l.py.a hasn't even been upgraded to current Mailman yet.
