moving to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tuesday, November 16, 2004 4:08:20 PM >>> During ApacheCon several httpd PMC members got together to discuss current issues with the httpd project and to try to find better ways to manage the project. One of the issues that was discussed heavily was the current policy of RTC vs CTR. The feeling of some of the PMC members is that the RTC policy as it is currently implemented on the 2.0 branch, is causing unnecessary overhead which has resulted in the slowdown of activity in the httpd project. One proposal that was made would be to adopt a lazy consensus rule. Basically what this means is that when a backport is proposed in the STATUS file, after a period of time and if the proposal has not recieved any 0 or -1 votes, it would automatically be approved for backport by lazy consensus. The purpose for this proposal is to avoid stagnation of backport proposals in the STATUS file simply due to the lack of votes.
