Changing PEP 13 to remove the CoC responsibility from the SC

The reason I’m even thinking about this is due to the communication around some of these controversies. The small amount of communication about these events have been credibly and directly contradicted by those individuals. The lack of followup from the SC is something I find troubling.

[…]

For these reasons I agree that the status quo is not serving the Python community. The SC doesn’t seem willing to directly engage with this, so proposals which look to address this are going to attract attention when they are the only proposal on the table.

I can’t speak for the whole Steering Council, but I can tell you why I haven’t responded to those contradictions: having a he-said/he-said fight would in no way improve the situation. (Also, nobody asked me or the SC directly to respond, and I definitely don’t want to jump into any conversation to try and correct impressions people have.)

As for the SC not being willing to engage, I’m sorry we gave the impression, although I’m not entirely sure how we could’ve done better. As far as I know, we’ve engaged with anyone who wanted to talk to us about it (individually or the SC as a whole). Is there a specific thing you would like the Steering Council to do to spur that engagement?
