Agreed with Victor.  Please create a new PEP.

Okay, thanks everyone who answered.

In hindsight you are all correct, writing a new PEP is the best solution 
and I was being over-optimistic (and a little lazy) to think otherwise.

I think that, technically, I still have core dev permissions, even 
though I haven't used them for quite some time. If nobody objects, I 
would like to use them to sponsor the new PEP.

Does it make a difference if I am a co-author of the new PEP, or a 
significant contributor?

Dipping-my-toes-back-into-CPython-dev-ly y'rs,
