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?
