I know PEP 646 was one of these. In our defense, we *did* notify the SC that there was a pending issue ( https://github.com/python/steering-council/issues/59#issuecomment-951728233), although at the time we didn't anticipate it to become such a contentious discussion between the PEP authors. (Though, while contentious, it's still a minor edge case in the PEP, and I don't think it would affect the SC's position which way we eventually end up going.)
I'm guessing that the recommended approach in such a case is just to close the SC issue and reopen it once the PEP is updated?
