Subject: [PATCH 0/1] Add Request-For-Comment process.
Date: Tue, 31 Oct 2023 12:05:22 +0100
Hi,

This is a proposal for implementing Request-For-Comment process.  It is highly
inspired by Rust RFC:

    https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs

and also by GHC Haskell proposal process [1] and Nix RFC process [2].  Based
on my understanding of Guix community interactions, I write down this text.

The aim is to remove “Why wasn't I consulted” situations for “substantial”
changes by improving the current process.  Somehow, this patch is an attempt
to make concrete what had been expressed several times; for one instance:

        Time for a request-for-comments process?

        https://yhetil.org/guix/87cznqb1sl.fsf <at> inria.fr

Again, please note that this process is about “substantial” changes that are
very few.

WDYT?

Cheers,
simon
