I think people just got in the habit and assumed it was policy.
Please remember Roy that your mails do not make policy either.
Which is, of course, why I said "I think".
"Policies" (for whatever level they exist here) have been set up
established practice- and as you know the mode of operation here so
far
has been "add yourself to the wiki". So for all practical purposes, it
*was* the policy here until your email.
No. Policies are set by agreement of the incubator PMC. What people
do in the *absence* of policy is not policy.
I have no problem with changing it but don't try to make it look like
there's "piling on" when established practice has is followed. I'm
absolutely +1 for changing the process and having the proposer control
who joins the project as you recommend.
The change would be adding policy where none existed before.
