NB: Waiting on a number assignment to open a DPO thread + update the CODEOWNERS 🙂

CC @dstufft to publicly confirm delegation/sponsorship as well!

You can pick/reserve the next available number yourself -- though you'll need to change it if there's a conflict (or if PEP editors say so).

$ uvx pepotron next
Next available PEP: 833

I generally prefer to wait until the sponsor confirms, because if a PEP is abandoned (such as #4681) the PEP number also needs abandoning to avoid confusion that recycling could cause. And it'd be better to avoid gaps.

Oops, OK. I'll revert 1ab5a02 for now.

[dstufft]

I'm fine on both accounts (Sponsor and Delegate)
