PEP 772: Packaging Council governance process (Round 3)

I’m skeptical about that. As an example, PEP 13 was amended to mandate Bloc STAR voting for PSC elections, and it’s been difficult to find a provider that meets all our needs in time for the coming PSC elections.

Solely as a co-author of this PEP, the answer is generally “no”. The PSF does not have a mandate or tradition to make technical decisions for Python, and this PEP doesn’t change that. I use the qualifier because as I mentioned above, the PSF owns, maintains, and funds PyPI, so it does have a significant interest in an important part of the overall packaging ecosystem. Even so, PSF staff members are explicitly prohibited from serving on the PPC.
