Agreed. Are not PEP's/NEP's just that (and could possibly be formalized more, not sure how much they are in the current proposal) in some sense? Since they have a sponsor/author who can be said to be assigned to it/responsible once accepted. I will add one more thing which I think is important: The governance has to be create as little hassle as possible and it should be simple/short enough to quickly understand. - Sebastian > Stéfan > _______________________________________________ > NumPy-Discussion mailing list > NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org > http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
