@pf_moore would you be available to help me start that PEP (if not could you point me to someone who could help) ? I’m completely lost in the process …

I found this: [https://www.pypa.io/en/latest/specifications/#proposing-new-specifications](https://www.pypa.io/en/latest/specifications/#proposing-new-specifications) but honestly it’s quite confusing and not really helpful.

I try to understand:

- How to obtain a PEP number ?
- Where should I go to open the PEP ?
- Is the PR to " [Python Packaging User Guide repository](https://github.com/pypa/packaging.python.org)" the PEP itself ? Or it’s a completely different process and shall be done once we have reached consensus in the PEP ?
- Is there a template I can follow ?

If you or someone could help, I would truly appreciate: contact@jonathandekhtiar.eu

I’m available over emails / phone / slack / webex / google hangout / IRC 😉
