No, that only applies for changes that actually impact the reference
interpreter or the standard library - those still need to be discussed
and approved on python-dev.

For changes that are wholly decoupled from the reference interpreter
(like PyPI behavioural changes), the delegation of authority to the
relevant SIG is more complete:

=================
PEP review and resolution may also occur on a list other than
python-dev (for example, distutils-sig for packaging related PEPs that
don't immediately affect the standard library). In this case, the
"Discussions-To" heading in the PEP will identify the appropriate
alternative list where discussion, review and pronouncement on the PEP
will occur.
=================

(From https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0001/#pep-review-resolution )

Regards,
Nick.
