This is why we had a Web Dev summit at PyCon US 2012: https://us.pycon.org/2012/community/WebDevSummit/ - to discuss what we can do as a language and community to make it more "attractive" and ease the on-ramp for the web community as a whole.
So, other efforts are under way for this, and orthogonal to the current RFP
I agree with you on the orthogonality, and wish you luck in getting a very wide base of feedback.
I think Python could be the best language for the web and for any programming anywhere: in the future, if it lives up to its potential, there will be a time when no one should even consider learning anything else as a first or only language. But, for a web developer, I don't think that time is now.
I hope you take fundamental redesigns very seriously moving forward. Good luck.
