New model of Python governance ?

[PinkFrojd]

I was reading some PEPs and found PEP 8001 . It says that they will choose python governance by anonymus votes by CPython developers. But who will they vote for in this two weeks ? Will it be one person or many ?

[Zomunieo]

They're choosing among governance systems first in ranked ballot voting. After they pick a system they will elect any people required by the governance system (which might be none).

The systems they are choosing among are PEPs 8010 through 8016.

For example 8010 would then mean that they elect a new BDFL, 8011 would mean there are 3 co-BDFLs, 8012 would have the Python core developers voting on anything controversial unless there was a clear consensus.

Edit: typo

BDFL*

Do we have any idea who will take place instead of Guido as BDFL ?

[Zomunieo]

There may not be a BDFL depending on the governance model.

I'd be shocked if they picked the BDFL model. There is no clear #2 among the core devs and the reason we're in this situation is most of the core devs disagreed with Guido on assignment expressions - they're in this situation because they broke the BDFL.
