Hi folks,

I’m working on some help documentation for python-ideas and first-time 
contributors, and I’d like to include a few examples of discussions that were 
productive and led to changes. I browsed through the archives and found a few 
positive and negative examples (below) but didn’t find one that led to a full 
PEP proposal (I know they’re rare!) I’d like to crowdsource this and get some 
good examples from y’all, if you don’t mind.

If people have any exemplar discussions in mind, could you drop them to me 
privately? Thanks in advance!

(Threads from python-dev also welcome, but my intent is to show people new to 
the python-ideas list what they should expect.)

best,
—titus
