24 This makes sense to me - the original idea can come from anyone, but
25 unless there is support by dev(s) that can maintain the package
26 manager(s) and are willing to implement the proposed change, these
27 ideas won't go anywhere anyways. Council can't make anything be
28 implemented, after all. Also, if there is a working test
29 implementation when the vote happens then it's a fairly quick process
30 to full implementation once the EAPI is approved.
