To be a bit less harsh -- that is, change the clause:
"For code maintained exclusively or primarily by a team that can reach
agreement on this issue, it is okay ..."
To maybe just
"For code maintained by a team that can reach agreement on this issue, it
is okay ..."
I would prefer not. The wording as given emphasizes that the team isn't
expecting outsiders to work on their code. I think that's quite
important, especially when you consider that PEP8 only really has force
for the standard library.
