Approve or don't approve. No other open source governance body has this kind of self importance and the desire for getting themselves in the news at all times.

Approving a PEP isn’t just flipping a bit, there are other decisions which come with it; this is process transparency and, implicitly, calling for feedback relevant to those other bits.

Considering Python is probably the most popular language ever, I would say the members of the council keep a pretty low profile. There are declining languages with userbases orders of magnitude smaller that make the front page more often.
