Proposal to create a Python Packaging Council

In principle, I agree (and the point about addressing user concerns is important) but I have serious concerns about making the scope so big that the council can’t be effective. That’s something that we can discuss separately, though. And depending on how we set things up, it may even be something the council themselves can adjust once they are in office - although that may be procedurally difficult to limit appropriately.

I’d refer you back to my post here - how many of those items should be under the packaging council’s authority? I don’t think there’s a self-evident answer to that question.

That sounds like a very good idea - although it’s another change for a user community that’s signalling they are tired of changes. And of course, with a formal council “Authority” isn’t as inaccurate as it currently is…
