Generally, these things are discussed on python-ideas first. I don't think a PEP required for a single function, but you'll have to convince people that it's useful ;) Personnally, I'm not convinced that a maximum 25% improvement on a rather uncommon use case (min() and max() on a sequence of objects which take a long time to compare) is a compelling argument for a builtin. On the other hand, it would be a rather simple and intuitive builtin, so why not?
