We pushed our PEP (PEP 595) to the peps repo yesterday.
You can read it at https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0595/
The source is available at
https://github.com/python/peps/blob/master/pep-0595.rst
The announcement on Python-dev is at
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2019-May/157669.html

Feel free to comment on the PEP (here, on python-dev, or on GitHub)
and let me know if I missed anything.
The PEP is not final yet, so we are planning to update it once we
gather some more feedback.

Thanks for letting me know.  If we decide to move forward with the
migration, this might be an interesting approach.
