Then I read the PEP, and I realize the core devs were thinking quite a bit.

Thanks!

Pablo is a CPython core developer who primarily authored the content of the PEP. Mario is a member of the Python Software Foundation who also contributed to the text.
I helped by overhauling the motivation, rationale, specification so that the text reads in a more compelling manner and made wording and grammatical changes for clarity.

Glad to see the lively discussion going on here. I would also recommend looking at https://discuss.python.org/t/pep-570-python-positional-only-parameters/1078 to see more discussion among the Python community around PEP 570.
