Hi All, During last year's discussion on adding new BIP Editors, AJ [noted][1] that it might be worthwhile to have some sort of review process of the BIP Editors in order to import the BIPs process. Since it has been more than a year since the new BIP Editors were added, it seems like a good time to take a look back.
The 5 new BIP Editors were added in April of last year. In the time since, the BIPs repository has seen a lot more action and the addition of new BIP Editors seems to me to be quite successful. In the 15 months prior to adding the new BIP Editors, the BIP Editors had: - Left 80 comments - Merged 44 PRs - Closed 6 PRs - Assigned 4 BIP numbers In the 15 months since adding the new BIP Editors, the BIP Editors have: - Left 1272 comments - Merged 261 PRs - Closed 122 PRs - Assigned 22 BIP numbers This improvement is very much welcome and the BIPs process no longer feels stuck. That being said, there is significant variance in the activity of the Editors, with only a couple Editors accounting for the vast majority of the aforementioned activity. This raises the question of whether all of the current BIP Editors want to dedicate their time to serving the community in this role, and whether there are others who could take their place as well.
