@AA-Turner @hugovk Note the change to check-peps.py to accept Pending as one line in a multi-line 'Post-History' header. I'm happy to split that out into a separate PR (or let y'all do it).

[AA-Turner]

I think Post-History is/should be where the PEP has been posted for discussion, rather than an indication that the authors intend to post it again? As such I think it'd be simpler to forgo the pending header and just update next time the authors do post it?

I guess in that case it makes sense to only accept a single Post-History: Pending line rather than one of many, given that it's only pre-first-post that will have that line. Subsequent changes will just have to do the update-header-dance. Okay, let me back those changes out. Thanks!
