I think this is a pertinent point - the process proposed at
github is incomplete and scantily motivated. Can the experts
make one more pass through it?

I'm rather concerned when I see comments that suggest that the
purpose of the staging branch was not understood in the
slightest. There's a lot of discussion on the issue here
http://forum.dlang.org/thread/ka5rv5$2k60$1...@digitalmars.com
The people who are attempting to use the new process have to at
least take some time to read through the process discussion
threads, certainly that is not ideal, and the wiki should explain
everything much better.
The reason for a less than adequate process description, is that
the process was not yet fully completed and was difficult to
complete without a dry run to work out the bugs and oversights
etc. Instead of a dry run, we're experiencing the real thing,
started in the middle of the holidays to boot.
We have to expect some problems of course!
It would be nice to contain everything under one discussion
thread so that the same people who started this whole thing are
more likely to notice the complaints and misunderstandings and so
forth.
