I dont think it's an "or" thing. As Jason has said it's an "and": both needs to be done. IMO there's a need for a plugin lead. Preferably this is the person who has a good history of the plugin and who can provide explanations/directions for contributors, possibly review and apply patches, etc. It doesn't mean he's the only committer on the plugin of course. The pb we had with m1 was not the problem of having leads. It was more the fact that they need to change and we didn't control well enough when leads were still written as leads but actually not leading any more (i.e. they were on other stuff). I think having leads is a good thing. It also provides additional visibility for those accepting to be leads and that's usually a good tradeoff. > > Irrespective of that I agree that some form of review should be done. > > All the information required for the view we should be able to glean > > from the stock of information we have.
