True, but there was some discussion of this way back when.

The way I remember it was that, while there are many outlets to discuss PEPs 
(including those pointed to by the optional Discussions-To header), python-dev 
is the “forum of record”.  This means that python-dev is the only mailing list 
you *have* to follow if you want to be informed of a PEP’s status in a timely 
manner.  Thus Post-History is supposed to reflect the history of when the PEP 
is sent to python-dev.  python-list is included because it’s the primary 
mailing list followed by people who aren’t developing Python but are still 
interested in it.

Maybe this needs to be reconsidered here in 2017, but that’s the rationale for 
the wording of PEP 1.

Cheers,
-Barry
