Re: PRs v. Issues for new licenses/exceptions

Agreed.   :-)

As part of the process discussions next meeting,  can we make sure we
document this and update the web pages to reflect how the process should
work.   Its currently just asking for an email on
https://spdx.org/spdx-license-list/request-new-license

Thanks, Kate

I think the canonical docs should be in-repo [1] and that external
docs should link there.  Folks are unlikely to create an issue/PR
without GitHub telling them about that CONTRIBUTING file (currently
“Helpful resources… Contributing” on the right in [2]).  But it's
certainly possible to file a new issue/PR without hitting [3].

Cheers,
Trevor
