Here's the pre-check to help figure out if there's anything we need to do before starting peer review:
Hi there! Thank you for submitting your package for pyOpenSci review. Below are the basic checks that your package needs to pass to begin our review. If some of these are missing, we will ask you to work on them before the review process begins.
Please check our Python packaging guide for more information on the elements below.
import package-name
.README.md
file with clear explanation of what the package does, instructions on how to install it, and a link to development instructions.CONTRIBUTING.md

pyOpenSci is a new organization is working to build community partnerships with other projects in the scientific Pythoniverse. It offers Python package peer review and is working to create a community-driven Python packaging guide. There are also emerging partnerships between pyOpenSci and the Python in Heliophysics Community (which we are part of) and Astropy. With respect to Astropy, there's been an effort to have the affiliated package approval process be aligned with pyOpenSci peer review; we could probably build off of this. I've also found it to be a great community to be a part of.
The main bottleneck towards PlasmaPy undergoing the pyOpenSci peer review process is limited time and capacity among our core contributors. I'm also thinking that it would make sense to wait until Astropy gets settled into being part of pyOpenSci, since we might be able to adopt the same process for becoming an affiliated package that Astropy ends up doing.
This is also something that we'd need a coordinating committee vote for.
