FWIW, I am also about +0.5 on allowing trailing comma.  Note that in a
similar situation,  the C standardization committee has erred on the
side of consistency:

"""
A new feature of C99: a common extension in many implementations
allows a trailing comma after the list of enumeration constants. The
Committee decided to adopt this feature as an innocuous extension that
mirrors the trailing commas allowed in initializers.
""" http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/C99RationaleV5.10.pdf

Similarly, I find allowing trailing comma in keyword only arguments
lists to be an innocuous extension that mirrors the trailing commas
allowed in the positional arguments lists.

+1 from me as well. Special cases are hard to remember.

Same here. A strong +1 for a consistent rule (always or never allowed) with a +1 for always given others use case of one param/arg per line.

So I think the issues should be reopened.
