Actually, I was merely trying to replicate what the devrel stuff sais on |
26 |
this ;-) It isn't about a dispute on documentation aspects. If that were the |
27 |
case, I'd suggest a "consensus model" on the mailinglist and indeed project |
28 |
lead having a final say if consensus cannot be found. |
29 |
|
30 |
But when developers are more in dispute on non-documentation related |
31 |
aspects, the devrel guide/policy currently positions the project lead as a |
32 |
first mediator. |
33 |
|
34 |
Of course, we could just drop that part (since it already is in the policy) |
35 |
or rewrite it according to your suggestion (but then make it clear it is |
36 |
about project-related activities). |
