May I ask, as a follow-up task, to add some kind of copy/pastable templates to
the rfc:howto (https://wiki.php.net/rfc/howto)? For example, what information
needs to be sent in major/minor/editorial changes? Do you need to declare which
type of change it is and its effect, or is it simply assumed everyone knows?
I had planned to make some changes to the template at
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/template, but not the How To. I can have a look
at the How To as well.
_Major and minor changes MUST be announced in the official discussion thread,
either in a dedicated email summarizing a list of changes or in a reply to
another email that clearly indicates that changes to the RFC text have been
made in response to that email._
Does this mean "A major change has been made" as in literally announcing the
type of change, or just that the change must be announced?
The latter. The required email is intended as an invitation to the
participants to have another look after the RFC authors believe that the
changes to the RFC are complete (for now) and then to discuss the latest
changes.
The type of change (Major / Minor) should be clear for the majority of
changes, but spelling it out explicitly can't hurt - if only for
yourself to keep track of things. Keeping a changelog in the RFC will
help as well.
