[gentoo-project] Social Contract clean-up

[Daniel Robbins]

Hey All,

It appears that the Social Contract needs a bit of a clean-up. The first
paragraph of the social contract is actually an introductory paragraph and
was not meant to be part of the social contract itself. I recommend
revising it to read:

"This social contract is intended to clearly describe the overall
development policies and standards of the Gentoo project development team.
Potential improvements to the social contract should be submitted to the
Gentoo Linux bug tracker at https://bugs.gentoo.org, and assigned to
gentoo-trustees. Specific questions about social contract, and discussion
about potential future improvements can be posted to the gentoo-project
mailing list."

I think this effectively modernizes the paragraph from the old days. In
particular, a lot of people expect the social contract to not change
radically so the idea of "comments are welcome" has been gone for many
years. We are not actively soliciting feedback and tweaks but of course we
have official channels for Social Contract discussion as well as a process
for considering improvements to the Social Contract moving forward.

Best,

Daniel
