> Are there any lessons you have learned from existing language projects that use this process such as PEP (Python) and JEP (Java)?

Nothing that I can think of that's particularly insightful. Just the basics that, yes, people want to be involved, and that it takes a good amount of effort—technical, mental, and social—to get a proposal to the state that it needs to be in to land in the language.

Thank you! I have to give credit to a team-member who suggested this, but I really really like this model. It lets each proposal be its own little mini-ecosystem and, I hope, should make it easier for multiple people to collaborate on a proposal.
