I don't dispute anything of this.
But I have always said, and it is exhibited by these cases, that we
should judge the importance of the changes and their impact by the
feedback on ML and not by anything else. If you want to make the change
proposal process less bureaucratic, removing the SC vs SW distinction
would be nice start.
It should work like this:
1) I propose some change I am working on. I should provide some basic
information.
2) The proposal is published on devel{,-announce} and feedback is solicited.
3a) If there is positive feedback, just some clarifications or no
feedback at all, change is automatically accepted.
3b) When the feedback is that this might involve other parties, then
additional information, which ensures all involved parties are informed
and collaborating, should be provided (unless the information is
provided already). FESCo approval might be needed if there is no consensus.
Honestly, if I were in Michal's position, I would be thinking next time
if I should propose the change at all, because if he did it without any
approval, we would live with it anyway. But I hope we don't want to go
in this direction.
