Fix Reference to Non-Existent BIPs

[super3]

This document was derived from PEP-0001. This line makes reference to BIPs 8 and 7, which don't exist. These are leftover refrences to Python PEPs which establish guidelines for code styles.

Thanks for actually reading BIP 1 :) As I've complained before, it's probably the least read 'important' document in bitcoin history.

Shameful ACK

TBH I think you can remove "code style" completely there, BIPs hardly contain code, and if they do (as BIP66 does) there's no code style guideline.

@laanwj Good point. Updated the pull request to reflect that.

I maintain that Bitcoin documentation is a bit disjointed. All my pulls into core have been around trying to make stuff more readable. If more people need to read it, needs to be more visible.

@luke-jr @genjix Anything missing from my end, or are we just waiting for more ACKs?

[luke-jr]

@super3 Just waiting for @genjix since he is the sole Author at this point... :/

[jonathancross]

Unfortunately @genjix has been MIA for more than a year. Seems we might want to have a backup plan for authors that are not responsive / have abandoned their BIP?

Same applies to #453

[luke-jr]

BIP 1 allows me to reassign BIPs if authors go missing. However, I consider BIP 1 set in stone, and instead would prefer if people make the effort to review BIP 2 as a replacement, which I will be proposing to the mailing list shortly, if there are no further review comments.

[super3]

@luke-jr @genjix Is clearly MIA, so #412 and #453 are in limbo. So to be clear you don't plan on reassigning BIP 1 to another author, but instead plan on trying to get BIP 2 accepted? If so #412 and #453 can probably be closed if/when BIP 2 is accepted.

Is there a current discussion area for BIP 2? I'd like to make some comments.

BIP 1 has been Replaced by BIP 2.
