[$] Python gets a new governance model

Back in late October, when we looked in onthe Python governance question, which came about due to the resignation of Guido van Rossum, things seemedto be mostly set for a vote in late November. There were six PythonEnhancement Proposals (PEPs) under consideration that would be ranked byvoters in a two-week period ending December 1; instant-runoffvoting would be used to determine the winner. In the interim, though,much of that changed; the voting period, winner-determination mechanism,and number of PEPs under consideration are all different. But the votingconcluded on December 16 and a winnerhas been declared; PEP 8016 ("TheSteering Council Model"), which was added to the mix in early November, cameout on top.
