It's already in pip, so I think it's already generally adopted 😉.

> Is my understanding correct that this issue is blocked on SC guidance?

Not officially, no. But I'm personally not going to bring it forward right now. 
If someone else wants to formulate a complete proposal for the SC on this then 
they are definitely welcome to! You will need to address where the code is 
coming from, why that code should be used, what's the API, etc.

The only reason the SC is mentioned here is there will be a discussion about 
how to maintain the stdlib, but it simply hasn't happened yet. You don't have 
to wait for it and asking for a TOML module might actually force the issue.

Nope, someone eventually has to have the time to make the proposal and manage 
the deluge of comments.

> Is there a good place to follow along or be notified of SC thoughts?

https://github.com/python/steering-council as you already pointed out through 
the issues and monthly summaries. Otherwise you just need to open an issue and 
ask. 😃
