[python-committers] Timeline to vote for a governance PEP

Hi,

According to the PEP 8001: "The vote will happen in a 2-week-long
window from November 16 2018 to November 30 (Anywhere-on-Earth)." It's
now in less than two weeks.

I see that the PEP 8001 is still being updated (voting method). Should
we still expect new changes before the vote starts? Can we set a
deadline, like November 15 (Anywhere-on-Earth)?

Nathaniel Smith and Donald Stuff have a draft PEP 8016 which is still
at the "ideas" stage:
https://discuss.python.org/t/working-discussion-for-pep-8016-the-boringest-possible-steering-council-model/333/28

What is the deadline to submit new governance PEP and to update
governance PEPs? November 15 (Anywhere-on-Earth)?

For the PEP 8001, who is going to organize the vote? It seems like
there isn't much to do. The bare minimum is just to create the private
repository. Or is it already created?

Another task would be to send notices about the vote on all
communication channels used by core developers? Announce 1 week before
it starts, when it starts, and maybe also remainder 3 days and 1 day
before it ends?

Does someone plan to have holiday during the vote and will not be able to vote?

Which tool can be used to compute the vote result? Parse the text
files in the Git repository and implement the Condorcet method.
